This article from Treatment Online talks about how Americans are eating so much. Not the why, but the how.
It talks about unit food. We eat one banana instead of eating enough of a banana to feel satisfied. Since the units of our food are bigger (supersizing) we have been eating more.
It also talks about the differences of our culture from places where food is scarce and teaching immigrants how to eat healthy in a world of abundance.
For me, I know exactly how I eat too much. It doesn’t happen every day. It happens when I binge. It’s not food companies making my units too large. It’s me eating too much to compensate for feeling my emotions.
When I can conquer that, I will finally be healthy.

You can cut bananas into 2 to four pieces and freeze them. Using a freezer is a great way to eat just what you want.
