Is it a matter of natural instinct(s)? I don't think so.
Using food as a drug to cope with your life is not natural. It's understandable given our "modern environment", but it's certainly not a natural outcome.
Food addiction is the #1 cause of obesity. HFCS and other food additives come in a distant second if we're assigning blame.
(To make matters worse, once obesity sets in, Leptin & friends take over to add a physiological addiction on to the psychological one!)
