obsesed with candy?

why does practically everyone like candy? whether it's chocolate, peppermints, lollipops, sour candy, rock candy, powder candy, etc. a lot of people like it and some are even obsessed with it. they count how many pieces they have, and slowly eat them one by one. halloween is the perfect time for anyone to get a huge collection of sweets. i like candy myself, but i'm not obsessed with it. i only get about half a bucket full, but it has to last me for the whole year. i'm only allowed to eat one piece on weekends. maybe in the future, people can practically live on candy!
