If you have ever gone to the grocery store and found yourself lost in the dozens of different kinds of breakfast cereals lining the shelves, you’re not alone. One expert says this is an intentional move, among others, done by food companies to exploit human instinct and get people hooked on processed foods.

TORONTO -- If you have ever gone to the grocery store and found yourself lost in the dozens of different kinds of breakfast cereals lining the shelves, you’re not alone.

He said in an interview on Wednesday that the human brain "gets excited" when it sees variety or inexpensive food at the grocery store, which increases the chances of purchasing the product. "After researching this industry and crawling back into the underbelly, I'm now convinced that many of these ultra-processed food products are even more problematic than some drugs. because they're tapping into our basic instincts to get us not to just like their products, but to make over-eating an everyday thing," Moss said.

"The power of memory is so critical to the sales of the food companies that when we went shopping during the pandemic, we started buying things we hadn't had since we were kids," he said.
