63% of people in the U.S. are overweight; most of them, in my opinion, can't stop eating because they are eating the wrong foods.

Telling them to stop at some point during their meal is like telling an alcoholic to just stop after one or two drinks.
I agree. I found it much easier to quit smoking than to diet. You can just never pick up another cigarette, but you DO have to eat. And some foods just trigger overeating.
