definitely agree that food quality is lower than ever which doesn't help. but at the same time, i suspect widely available food is also something humanity just wasn't prepared for. all adults can actually go quite a long time without eating. in the past, it was probably quite common to go several days without eating anything just because food was way more scare. self-control over what you consumed was never really needed before. it wasn't until the industrialization of food in the 20th century that it even became possible for the average person to overeat.
