Why does the Artemis always retract and then extrude the filament before starting?

I've got this annoying thing where every time I want to start a print I have to manually push the filament down the last 2 inches or so thru the Y adapter into the extruder nozzle.
Steps:
1) Load filament using the load filament macro. The filament goes almost all the way in, then retracts to about 2 inches above the Y adapter.
2) Upload + Start print (my only start gCode is just G28).
3) The printer will heat up.
4) Before starting, the printer will retract the filament again, then extrude it just a little bit. Most of the time it doesn't even get into the Y nozzle. Then it starts printing.
So I always have to manually push the filament in all the way. I don't know where this behavior is being stored, how can I get it to stop?
