Humans eat for taste and I believe some research has indicated that we depend on taste to convey what will satisfy our hunger (and nutrient requirements). The problem is that most of our food is caloric dense, but nutrient poor. So, we cover the metabolic calories needed to live, but not much else. It's one thing I've learned from getting back on a diet is how much 'diet' food is empty calories and how often I have to eat other foods to cover nutrient deficits (calories are easy, getting enough Vitamin A is hard if you keep eating the 'diet' food).
