Does it actually just taste better? Or is it mental? Or is it an evolutionary thing? Tell me your opinion.

It is due to acquired tastes. Beer tastes nasty at first. But some like fish eggs (cavier), frogs legs, rat, dogs, chicken neck and back (blacks) and insects. This site tells the one way to re-set tastes so people like healthy foods with quotes by 10 MDs. My favorite food growing up was fried matza (unleavened bread).

That isn't necessarily true. There are lots of healthy foods that taste great--but the issue is that people are unwilling to try them. Snack foods--fast foods--taste great because they are loaded with sugar and lots of other unhealthy stuff and they can be addictive. Plus, some people are lazy and are used to eating unhealthy stuff so they never try the healthy stuff to see if they will like it. Also, I know a lot of people who say they hate this food and that food but NEVER tried it. How do you know what you like or don't like unless you try some of it? I see it more as a laziness issue then some evolutionary thing or a taste thing.

do u know in starting of evolution of humans our ancestors ate raw food n meat etc they never knew what is salt or sugar or spices. but as evolution went on we now r more acquainted to all spices n though these spices r good for us if used properly but our taste buds r gone so bad with all spiced pizzas n burgers tastes good n thus that oil content increases n so vitamins n minerals decreases
whereas if we r offered food without spices we will reject it saying its not acceptable
do u know Punjabi's eat oily n spiced food n we can find people using many spices in India n if we receive a guest from say England they will reject our food as its very spiced as they r not used to this food
so its the matter of habit not any mental / any other thing

Unhealthy food tastes so much better than a bunch of vegetables or a bowl of oatmeal.

i imagine you could go with tremendous tasting healthy meals like certain culmination flavor tremendous. the quick foodstuff is many times undesirable for you because they many times use inexpensive meats and use quite some oil. attempt a chicken broiled sandwich those are many times healthy and infrequently flavor tremendous. stay faraway from fries

We're conditiond from birth to like the unhealthy things and to abhor the foods we should eat.

People train themselves to believe they liked those unhealthy things. You can re-train your mind - I don't like unhealthy foods anymore. For example, fast food sounds really bad to me, never want it now.

It is conditioning, avoid junky food and eat healthy food and the junk will taste too sweet, too oily, too...

Fat and sugar taste good. In nature, fat and processed sugar are fairly hard to come by. Fat and sugar taste good because small amounts are necessary to maintain your health.
