Monosodium Glutimate(not sure on spelling) or msg and high fructcose corn syrup are big ones. They make your brain release more dopamine-the happiness chemical the brain naturally makes--but more than just whole foods would.

Do you know what these chemicals are called? Having food that pleasures my taste buds with each bite definitely makes me want to eat past fullness. I'm sure there are other factors that play into obesity, diabetes and vasculatory problems including socioeconomic ones but the fact that the cheap easy grub almost tastes better than anything I could make at home doesn't help people make healthy choices

I see what you did there! XD they're actually more slender compared to our European birbs. I think this picture illustrates it pretty well http://www.allcreaturespod.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Robins-1024x489.jpg - I'm used to seeing the one on the right

What we do put in our fast food? Chemicals specifically designed to make you thirsty, so you buy a soda, which makes you parched, which makes you want even more food(and makes you want to eat it again). It's addictive and wrong, and salty and fatty as hell--which explains ours obesity/diabetes/blood pressure statistics (speaking as a type 2 diabetic). Glad you've made your home here and your home makes you happy!!
