Maintaining a low insulin level in the body, most of the time, is THE #1 KEY to good health, and especially to lean body mass.
When a person eats 5-6 meals per day, especially if those meals/snacks are high in carbs or dairy, insulin spikes. Those multiple insulin spikes throughout the day disrupt the body's natural hormone signals and cause bodyfat storage.
Obese people eat not only junk food, but they eat frequently throughtout the day. This is WHY they become obese.
Like you said, far too many people eat for entertainment, rather than health. The results speak for themselves.
