Seems like this is the statement that\u2019s being reinforced by your fellow dieters, friends, parents, and fitness blogs, isn\u2019t it? This myth has been around for ages and it\u2019s not an easy one to dispel, as there are both cultural and biological reasons why you prefer a boatload of fried nuggets over a low-calorie vegetable salad.

Leaving aside low-income countries, the direct comparison between the US and other developed countries shows stark differences. For instance, about 17% of adults in France were obese as of 2008, while in the US the number was 34%, so twice higher (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3930055\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Of course, Americans are not more biologically prone to chew on potato chips. These rates are the results of cultural and social practices related to health. Here are some other comparisons:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Healthy_Food_Taste_Bad\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30710 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-8-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"healthy food\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-8.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-8.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-8-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2-8.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAbout 44% of the French consume more than 5 servings of fruits and veggies per day. Approximately 24% of Americans do that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About 70% of the French drink less than one glass of sweetened beverage per day,\u00a0 only 37% of Americans meet this guideline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About 65% of French walk briskly for 30 minutes 7 days\/week; only about 50% of Americans walk briskly 5 days\/week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This data reveals that cultural issues might be working in defining whether healthy foods taste bad. It seems that this indeed is the case. Recent research points to the fact that the majority of Americans consider unhealthy food tasty, while the majority of French feel the opposite (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1509\/jppm.14.006\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Americans are subjected to marketing messages that glorify unhealthy foods, so unsurprisingly this idea seeped into their subconscious. Indeed, the food considered American worldwide is largely really unhealthy (like hamburgers or greasy steaks). If these are the emblems of national cuisine, what is to be expected from the citizens?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"American_Culture\"><\/span><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Healthy_Food_Taste_Bad\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30184 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/13-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"healthy food taste bad\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/13.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/13-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/13.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/13-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/13.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAmerican<\/strong> <\/span>Culture<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The US culture and marketing produced a distinction in favor of unhealthy foods. When healthy products are promoted, all you hear about is their numerous health benefits and not one mention of their taste. When fast food, candy or sodium-packed snacks are being advertised, their addictive taste is at the forefront of every ad campaign. This seems obvious, yet it creates the stereotype of tasteless healthy foods. That is why the first thing you need to do is unlearn the cultural prejudice that\u2019s being imposed on you via television, internet and their marketing ploys. Healthy food does taste good, and you can prove it yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--><\/style>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019ve mustered up the courage to crush your weight loss goal, let Betterme take the sting out of this demanding process. <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Healthy_Food_Taste_Bad\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Our app will help you<\/a> restructure your habits, remold your life and crank up your fitness results!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nature\"><\/span><b><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Does_Healthy_Food_Taste_Bad\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29755 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Frame-3674-1024x576.png\" alt=\"diet to lose weight\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Frame-3674.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Frame-3674-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Frame-3674.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Frame-3674.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nNature<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you\u2019ve seen, one of the reasons the statement \u00abhealthy food tastes bad\u00bb is so popular is due to the peculiarity of American food culture. The culture, however, cannot take account of the whole problem on its own. Despite the immense difference in obesity rates between France and the US, the obesity rates are <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">growing <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in France too, as well as literally everywhere around the world. This suggests that there might be natural factors causing obsessions with junk food. After all, when you\u2019re disgusted by cauliflower, you\u2019re not tasting prejudice. Or, at least, not exclusively.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthy food sometimes tastes bad while harmful foods taste good because of evolutionary reasons (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com.au\/2016\/12\/20\/this-is-why-junk-food-tastes-so-bloody-good_a_21632106\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Ancient humans had an abundance of plants around them, so their body didn\u2019t need to develop a mechanism which would spur them to eat more plants. What humans really did require, and what was then in short supply, is sodium. Why does salt make food taste better? Because it triggers serotonin. The same goes for fat and sugar that are great and dense sources of energy. With the modernization humans learned to make foods next-level salty, fatty, and sugary \u2013 the combination that sends our brains into a pleasure overdrive. Yet it is simply too much, and inflicts irreparable harm on our body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cravings for these extra-flavored foods can be so strong, that many scientists now consider it an addiction (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2010\/HEALTH\/03\/28\/fatty.foods.brain\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
