Do companies trick us into eating more Junk?

This morning in school I came across an article that immediately interested me. The article was all about how Companies "trick" us into purchasing products that are supposedly good for us or better for us than their first product. An example of this I would give would be Coca-Cola. Quite obviously Coca Cola is a very old brand of soft drinks but they have launched many new products over the past few years.

 For example the first after Coca Cola was Diet Coke. although their was nothing to specify that this was good for you people became to buy it as they knew it was better. Soon after Coke Zero came into the shops. Coke Zero supposedly has Zero calories unlike the Original which has 139. Many people may think it is "healthy" and can therefore drink as much of it as they please. However, although it may not make you put on weight, it could actually be worse for you than normal Coke. If there is no sugar in Coke Zero then what is in it. It tastes no different and therefore could have very harmful replacements.

Above is the article I read this morning. If you have any opinions of this then please comment below. It would be much appreciated.
