They draw us into buying these products again and again.
Today on The Detail, we look at why we find ultra-processed foods so addictive and how they always seem to end up in our trolleys.
How we're being sucked in by celebrity endorsements, bright colours and something called the health halo effect.
Chips, biscuits, yogurts, protein bars, instant noodles, these are all examples of ultra-processed foods, or UPFs.
They're different from just processed foods.
Senior Research Fellow in Population Health at the University of Auckland, Kelly Garton, explains how.
And the recent research that you came out with is around ultra-processed foods.
Can you tell me a little bit about why you did this research?
What was the new things that you guys had found from this research?
And so what about these foods?
Because I had read your conversation piece and like you'd mentioned, there were feedback loops.
Within these feedback loops, what is it about these foods or UPFs that make it so addictive or want for us to eat more of them?
So, for instance, when we eat a potato chip, what could be in that example to make us want to?
Is it that combination of the carbohydrates?
And the fats in the potato chip that want us to eat more of it?
So going back to the crunch because the fact that companies research even just the sounds that foods make, that is fascinating.
I never knew that companies were actually going out of their way to make food sound more appealing.
How long has, is this something that has been going on for quite a while?
What kind of techniques have the food industry or the UPF industry, what techniques have they taken from tobacco companies to actually market these products to not only us, but to children?
Former US President Ronald Reagan and actor Charlie Sheen are just a couple of examples of famous people who've featured in cigarette ads in the past.
