IMO it is not just about "overeating" - it is about what foods people eat.
That probably is partially, at least. about the psychology and social
function of eating, and about stress and time to prepare foods that are well
balanced etc. If one is to look in grocery stores, the ready made foods have
really increased. Are they the best choices? But, if financially
disadvantaged, I think the food choices are probably more limited. That
does not mean that they have to be less healthy, I think. Eg is someone who
can afford to eat a 12 oz (or smaller) steak making a healthier choice than
someone who eats home made beans. What do people learn about foods and what
they do in the human body? Do people learn how to prepare nutritious but
less costly menus (that are interesting as well)?
We have a lot of good possibilities for choices, with ingredients and daily
amounts printed on food items, but do we know what they mean and how to
combine the right foods for balanced eating, so one does not feel hungry
shortly after, and reach for something fast to fill the perceived (or real)
need. Do we have the time to plan and prepare meals as they should be, in
order to eat properly?
And what is the function of the fast food industry and advertising, in all
of this?
