You work hard, pay your taxes, love your country. You exercise regularly and even sneak in a couple of runs a week. You believe looking good is important, and you'd sooner let Ozzy Osbourne perform your vasectomy than eat the fat and empty sugar calories found in a glazed donut.
Too bad you're probably falling for some of the biggest fake-outs to hit the supermarket since shopping music. We're talking about hidden junk foods. These victual villains can stymie your progress in the gym, leave you listless during the workday, and even put your health at risk. But if you follow our simple advice, you'll turn your pantry into a nutritional survival chest.

自从商店内开始有音乐歌曲播放以来
The psychological effect of piped music used in supermarkets urges shoppers to buy, or buy more, on impulse. In other words, since the introduction of modern day comsumer persuasion gimmicks have been used in marketing.

自从有了卖场这回事
My guessing.
If you face the music, you face the reality.
So, if you fall for big fake-outs to the suppermarket since shopping music, you fall for big fake-outs since the shopping suppermarket exists.
That's why my suggestion, 自从有了卖场这回事.
Some native speakers shall come up and confirm or reject the guessing.

No, I don't mean shopping music. And you know that well enough. You may disagree with my interpretation. No problem to me.

(in the writer\'s opinion) shopping music is a con job. It is not \'real\' music, but a sham 假货;假象. Likewise \'hidden junk foods\'are like the empty content of the shopping music. (Does it describe what these \'hidden\'junk foods are in the next paragraph?) I would guess it is overprocessed foods, sugary/salty/fatty breakfast cereals and the like.最好看一下下文,或者上文才能弄清楚这所写的\'hidden junk foods 是什么...
