Why are we eating more though? Normally you would expect what, maybe people get pudgy when they live in a realm of excess availability and little exertion, but the percentage of 300+ lb people rising so dramatically in the last 30 years isn't so simply explained.

I would suspect multiple things at play, some combination of processed food, food scientists tweaking flavors so that we don't burn out on eating foods, increased carbohydrate and calorie density, PFAs and endocrine disruptors in the food and water, plastic gloves leaking human analogue hormones into fast food fry grease or some currently unidentified hidden factor is a play here.

Somehow these things the combination has to be shorting out the satiation signal so that people don't stop eating when they have enough. Trying to listen to your body when your body is being lied to.

It's not as simple as people eat too much. Something is creating the hole that they are trying to fill.
