I think we all know that we should avoid junk food snacks and instead eat a few healthy meals that leave us feeling fully nourished and sated. The kind of meal where afterwards you feel done but not gross or weighed down.
When I'm disciplined about not buying junk at the store and my kitchen only has relatively unprocessed ingredients, I find myself obligated to make that kind of food.
But if the chips are there, it's really hard to not wander into the kitchen and snack on them. I only have finite willpower after all.
The modern world is like being completely surrounded by junk food for our attention, 24/7. It's no wonder ADHD diagnoses are spiking, people are anxious, no one seems to have enough willpower anymore, and we're all struggling to do what we know is best for ourselves.
