Whereas the human body only partially recognizes processed food as food. Often it totally bypasses the “I’ve eaten enough” sensors.

When one eats traditionally prepared (European, at least) food, it is much harder to become very fat, even if you are eating “unhealthy” foods with a lot of fat in them.

We really need regulation forcing processed foods to pass some kind of satiation-per-calorie test. It’s mind blowing that this isn’t a top level political issue.
