Sugar gives people a little dopamine boost. So if, as a company, you make your product a little more sugary, people like it more. Then, all the companies are in an arms race to make the tastiest product and you end up where we are.
Of course, it's not only about sugar. You also want to make it more salty and fatty because people like that too.

And somehow we can't stop this arms race that causes millions of people to have diseases like diabetes and costs society enormous amounts of money. I guess once Nestle buys up Pfizer and health insurance companies, the cycle is complete.
