A sign of the fallen nature?

I see how most people I know have self destructive tendencies,and actually PRAISE the thing that harms them, and find the thing that can help them restrictive. Examples--{especially on my mothers side,including my mother},}a leaning towards overeating,and the wrong foods at that!!Like when they talk on the phone or even in person,talking about, how eating foods high in cholesterol,calories, etc,is so wonderful,and "knocking" the nutritious foods.And they talk about how they "can't wait" to shovel down the unhealthy foods.In others,the "craving", their "savior" in hard times is cigarettes.In a tense situation,out comes the cigarette.Even coffee is not the best thing for you, caffeine makes you jittery, and even gives palpitations.But who do you know who doesn't drink several cups of coffee every morning?{I don't} Or it could be {fill in}. Now the question I have is, what's the actual cause of craving harmful things? I say, it's the fallen nature,comes from the flesh Does that sound right,that self destructive tendencies come from the flesh?
 
Just curious, do you know what the Bible says about some sins being sins for some and not for others, about some foods being sin for some and not for others? If Jesus is for us, who can, what can be against us? Can we be against us or stay against us if Jesus is for us?

In Jesus save Steven Bobb's/My mother and his/My sister from their sins! Send workers of the harvest to them that they will better understand! Give them excitement in You Lord Jesus and convict them to search for You and give them a desire to do Your Will and follow You in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Sometimes teachings and even learnings can take 2 or 3 people :)

The simple question was just the cause of leaning towards things that are not good for us, and the people I mentioned are unsaved people.I think the cravings towards self destructive habits are from the flesh, the fallen nature.In your little speech, you didn't really address the root cause of these leanings.I don't think these particular unsaved people are doing it with faith that it's not a sin,the way they talk sounds more like they just have cravings for things that are not the best.As for the saved being under protection, remember also, "All things are lawful to me, but not all things are advantageous." Also, just because we can "get away with it" doesn't mean we should show off about it.When the devil asked Jesus to jump off the temple, Jesus said,"It is ALSO written,"You shall not tempt the Lord your God".But the original simple question is, what causes them to have these cravings, when they admit themselves it's bad for them?{Not just food, and not just my relatives, but smoking, alchohol,etc.
