U suppose overeating is most commonamong adults (16-60y old)
It hasn't been for long that there is plenty of food available. In the past people had to eat and fatten up for worst er times. This instinct could have saved you in the past. If cave people just ate what they needed, many would die during winter months when food was not always available. We still often like fat and sweet things since they have higher calorie counts then sour and bitter tasting things.
Under eating is more common among elder people (60+ y old)
They just loose their sense of taste making them feel less hungry. That is why older people often use more salt.
