Covetousness happens due to uncontrolled sense and greed. Desire and carving arise in us in the presence of sense objects is called covetousness. This happens even if one sees picture or advertisement of an object. Smells of food also trigger the senses and desire for particular food get arose.
      To overcome the covetousness one first need to understand the process of formation of        desire,  that how desires arise by interaction of object and senses in presence of mind.            One should learn that desire is an outcome of a mechanical process.
