Our bodies are designed to eat until we feel sated. Most people eat foods that do not allow themselves to feel fully sated, hence they overeat.
Good proteins, healthy fats, and vegetables are the things that make us feel sated.
Sugars and carbs in particular don't have a sating effect on people, hence you are prone to overeating, if you only eat those foods.
This is why most fast food and convenience stores sell things that are comprised of sugar, carbs and fat. They're in the business of selling you more, not selling you "just enough".
I don't think we should blame these companies btw, people have free will, and an occasional soda or candy bar won't kill you. It's just that too many people see these foods as a daily ritual.
