When I was a kid in the early 60s my dad and I were driving through a poor neighborhood, and I was surprised by how many fat people I saw. I said I thought poor people can’t afford enough to eat, why are there so many fat people? He told me “they eat too many starches (carbs) because they are cheap, and starches make you fat”. My dad was a smart man.

Plus, if they eat mostly starches they will have wildly fluctuating blood sugars and insulin levels, so then they feel they have to eat something every 2 hours, like a baby.
So when they say they are “hungry” (although obese), technically they probably are.
The “hungry” children that people claim exist probably ate a starchy junk food meal 2 hours ago. When you are getting NO nutrients, you’ll go on craving and craving.
