Satiety vs calories is everything. If you give people “all you can eat” bland boiled potatoes with no butter or salt and nothing else, they will not overeat. They will lose weight.
The same goes for rats. Give them all they can eat of bland nutritional rat pellets and they’ll maintain body weight. Give them Doritos and McDonald’s, on the other hand, and they’ll gain weight like crazy.
It should be a surprise to nobody that capitalism has optimized junk food to be as addictive and non-filling as possible.
