Don't feel bad. Biology programmed you to prioritize it because it's calorically dense and rare in nature, therefore important to survival and the propagation of your genes. The fact that it's become widely available and cheap is not a matter of failure in individuals, but rather an example of the success of our species and civilizations.

Or something. Idk. Junk food is yummy. The key is moderation.
