[American in Israel]

People over eat due to malnutrition. Food preservatives block enzyme action so you cannot effectively adsorb complex proteins, or minerals so all you easily get are sugars. People gobble down so much food and get fat because they are dying of malnutrition while on massive caloric overload.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Most people over eat because food is tasty. If it didn’t taste good, they wouldn’t over eat. They would still eat to sustain themselves.
