Not getting involved in argument but, just a little story a woman had a gastric band in America to stop her bad eating habits, the band worked and she lost weight but then gained another addiction booze. So I think food is addiction to some people, they see it has a crutch like various other addictions, cigarettes, drugs etc. Most peoples bad eating habits stem from emotional or physical problems. The way to go is eat to live not eat to live.

Sort the cause of eating too much solve the overeating and the neccesity of it.

People whom never had a problem with food either not eating or eating will never fully understand, not being patronising just my own opnion.

Definately there may indeed by psychological issues in respect of the overeater. Some are compulsive, some have rare medical conditions stemming from the brain, and some are simply obese through not gving a damn. You're right in the use of the word 'some'.
