Awareness

In both cases, the main change is awareness . Awareness that the reason we are drawn to sickly desserts is because they are sweeter than any naturally-occurring fruit.

Awareness that watching television activates the primitive ‘orienting response’, keeping our eyes drawn to the moving pictures as if it were predator or prey. Awareness that liking ‘cute’ characters comes from a biological urge to protect and nurture our young.

The key is spotting the stimuli as they appear, and engaging the mind to regulate or override temptation. Sometimes it can feel more rewarding to say no to the supernormal.
