The MSG gives them a high and there is a high sugar content. Junk food is also sold from brightly coloured establishments with huge marketing departments that target kids. For reasons unknown to me, parents seem to offer a trip to these places as a 'treat'.
Luckily for me, my parents would take us to an actual restaurant when we deserved a treat and my adult palette is wide and varied as a result - and most certainly does not include junk food.
Also parents are busy and prefer to offer food the children have been trained to want (even if it is unhealthy) because they will choose and eat quicker and it will cost them less.
My father banned us from such places because they don't use cutlery and I think that is brilliant.
Good luck kids, you are going to need it.
