I think that part of the mystery is more about the food itself and not the eating of the food. Hybridization and GMO approaches have been specifically to provide the Vendor ( food producer ) with a more profitable product. This has destroyed the nutritional value of the food to such an extent that we who are less than 45 years old cant know of a time where real food was readily availible.

Also we in America have a very skewed view of what people elsewhere eat. for instance Pizza which traditionally was oil and cheese on real wheat is now so bastardized in America as to be a very different food altogether.
Most people i know who travel outside the US also mention portion size. we eat a lot of food in the US
and my final point will be adaptation. There is an article that shows that the Japanese are adapted to digest seaweed when the rest of us simply pass it.

So as Robert H. Lustig said "when God made the poison he placed with the antidote". In order to increase profitability we removed the antidote and kept the poision. Shame on us!
