Because they make lots of money of foods that stay fresh longer, look
better and taste "better".
A meat that is eaten cold on bread here is called "American Filet" and
is infamous for it's additions of  nitrates. But the meat stays red and
looks fresh so we stupidly eat it anyway eventhough it's been in the
news since the 80s.
And for the really suspicious amongst us, yep that's me, some of the E's
might be addictive as well.
Some bad foods are known to give a little buzz, like sugar, and some of
the E's can have the same affects.
