The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite
It basically boils down to thoughtless eating and that we should be more mindful eaters and watch our portions. We crave Salt, Fat and sugar and a lot of hte easy, fast food is laden with it to our waistline's detriment. If you use these as a very occasional treat rather than as normal and examine the reasons why you eat and ask yourself if the food will improve the mood or add to it, you will probably think again about eating it.
Interesting food for thought.
