This is assuming too much.

It assumes that we are only eating when hungry.

It also begs the question of whether with the type of food and amount of work we are doing, in today's society, when we feel like eating, it's necessarily healthy.

It makes zero allowance for the idea that some eating habits are worse than others, by discrediting anything but someone's desire to eat as somehow illegitimate or even dangerous. This argument defeats itself.
