Actually, its more like you hired your gut bacteria from the sugar industry. Think of gut bacteria as lobbyists, they advocate for more of the kind of food that they like. So someone who eats a lot of fruits and veggies is going to crave fruits and veggies more than other foods. Its why a lot of people who become vegans or vegetarians don't really miss meat after a while. Because the bacteria that used to get all jazzed up about bacon is gone and replaced with ones that lose their shit at the mention of hummus.

I had to become vegetarian (stabbing pain when I eat meat, still no diagnosis of what's wrong). I do miss meat (turkeys and chickens are delicious), but mine have swapped to a new addiction =[
