There was an explosion of processed foods that are less satiating while also being engineered to be hyper-palatable after WWII.
The solution you're looking for would require legislating a ban on any food products that didn't exist before the mid-twentieth century.
You may find that this would be politically unpopular.

You can have food that is more satiating and less palatable without banning all food from before the 60s, you even claim it has been engineered for the opposite effect. In fact that does not seem like a high ask of the food industry.
