Those are good points. The confluence of maximally tasty and minimal cost can leads to very unhealthy food. I just don't like the intent that is implied when the article uses inflammatory phrases like science of addiction or designed to addict.

I agree that the language is really poor. It's a shame that it sells papers and documentaries.

Food could be a fascinating documentary. Instead we get "supersize me", which is fun but not rigorous.
