I find it ironic that evolution optimized us for such effective energy storage because of constant food shortages, but now the same food and efficient storage is killing us.
As someone who is into fitness for the last decade I can understand many other people with less willpower to resist the hunger. People can give up drugs, alcohol, smoking, etc, because ultimately you don't need those things to survive, but we do need food to survive and it's so damn easy to overeat. Another bit of irony is that once you give up all those other unhealthy triggers of dopamine, food remains the (only?) main one, making it even so much harder to resist it, considering that apparently obesity is worse for your health than alcohol and smoking combined.
