It is essentially a mental issue.
Food is addictive. It is the mother of all addictive substances, for good reasons. Refined sugar and rich food particularly so, pure energy, exactly what our body needs to stay alive.
What changed is that what was originally rare, high value food sources are now abundant, and we didn't have time to adapt.
The same could be said about alcohol and tobacco. Why do so many people in developed countries drink and smoke when we all know it is bad?

People care, they just can't help it.
