My problem is I just plain overeat. Even if it's fatfree and sugarfree, you can still overdo it! 

I think people eat to much processed food... and aren't active enough. Think about all the conveniences we have that past generations didn't... we don't have to get up to change the channel; we don't have to raise the garage door by hand; we don't have to shovel the driveway; we don't have to go in the basement constantly to do a load of laundry. We have life pretty easy.... which shows up on our waistlines. 

I agree with JuliG-we do not do enough activities as our great grandparents did.  

Very true. It's kinda interesting when you take a step back and try to view our food system from a different perspective. The food industries put chemicals (they call it additives, natural flavors, artificial coloring, preservatives, etc)in our food to promote our health. But after a meal we become tired, sluggish, and inactive. Makes you feel that something's not right with this picture, eh? 

The reason why we are still hungry after we eat is because are body is STILL craving the nutrients we need. And we do not receive those nutrients from a BIG MAC. Ewe
