Fast food junkies?

Anders Sandberg writes in Practical Ethics.

In the article Hunger is the best spice Sandberg writes about ghrelin. Ghrelin is a hormone produced in the stomach that appears to stimulate appetite. There has recently been fear of fast food companies adding ghrelin to make their food addictive. The question is rather how to control our appetites and turn it towards what is good for us.
