Uh, that pop-up is "unpleasant feelings". Pain, discomfort, bad taste/smell, etc. If you went outside and started eating dirt, your brain would pop-up with "Hey, this tastes yucky, you should stop"

The really dangerous thing is when something feels rewarding in the short term, but wrecks your life in the long term.

Are you kidding? I can always want to eat more broccoli than is advisable. I have to like hold myself back.
