I agree with you; it's just not natural to overeat so as to feel good, same as with drug taking. The reasons why people do these things are twofold -
low self esteem and lack of control. With children then obviously it is a lack of parental control due to inability to cope. The underlying cause of this is sociological, but unfortunately our western society is unlikely to change it's consumer driven approach to life in our lifetime.

The natural solution to regaining control and self esteem in a consumer society is to take personal action, i.e. self empowerment.
