	Description:		“Why does bad food taste so good?” asks Alan Fouracre from Tauranga, New Zealand, "And by ‘bad’ food, I mean the things we are told to hold back on like sausage, chips and chocolate." From sugar to salt and fat, we investigate why our body derives pleasure from certain foods, which we're often told to cut down on. Adam discovers why retronasal smelling makes bacon taste delicious, on a trip to the BBC canteen for breakfast with materials scientist Mark Miodownik. Hannah consults food scientist Linda Bartoshuk on her fizzy pop habit. And The Angry Chef, Anthony Warner, discusses the dangers of labeling certain foods as 'bad'. Presenters: Hannah Fry, Adam Rutherford Producer: Michelle Martin
