I think for some of us it's about consistency. For example, fresh fruits can range from mushy to squishy to firm and tart/sour to sweet. Processed foods are the same every time all the time, there aren't bones or bruises to work around, and the taste is much more predictable.

As an adult, the health benefits of fresh foods can help tip the scale in favor of extra prep time to lower the inconsistency for healthier meals and snacks, but when you're a kid you have to rely on a parent/adult to understand and do the prep work (and not harass you about food waste when you leave mushy blueberries on the side of your plate). Processed foods are already consistent, and don't involve prep time by parents who are probably stressed and overworked.

Supposedly he doesn't make that much since he didn't write the song. In 2010 it was reported he had only made $12 from the phenomenon. Then again, he said more recently that he's not sure how much it has made on YouTube, but I'm sure Sony Music has made a pretty penny since they now own both the label that the songwriter was with, and the label that the Astley recording was under.

Yeah, I wish we would stop fining large corporations. Nullify their patents/trademarks or something like that instead. That might be a bit extreme in this case, but when large fines and maybe sending executives to jail are the worst punishments we give large corporations, it's insane that we think they'll learn any kind of lesson.
