Yes because food addiction is like an addictive drugs, highly palatable foods trigger feel-good brain chemicals such as dopamine. Once people experienced pleasure associated with increase dopamine transmission in the brain's reward pathway from eating certain foods, they quickly feel the need to eat again.
