From my own experience, there are certain things that are, as you say,
addictive.  One of the hallmarks of addiction is partaking *way* beyond
what you really would need or even want if you weren't addicted.  When I'm
not eating such things (as I'm not), my sense of taste = what's good for me
is much more accurate.  So, it appears, is my sense of what I want = what I
need.

I recall years ago cutting out sugars, refined stuff, etc., but not the
starches; the addictive nature of my tastes and wants remained.  It wasn't
until I eliminated both that some sense of balance returned, I've noted.
