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.

This is true...food is DESIGNED...literally...designed food...to get you addicted so you keep eating and buying it.
