I suppose that this highlights something very fundamental about the way we eat. We eat what we want, not really knowing if it is good for us or not, just doing so out of habit or convenience. If we take the time to record exactly what we take in, and to understand the implications of that intake in terms of calories and nutrition, we are educating ourselves about the value of our food. That education is a permanent change. Once a person grasps how many calories they take in with soda pop or french fries, and how nutritionally empty those calories are, they will naturally begin to choose other foods out of self interest.
