What do you think about my new theory on weight gain?

I was thinking as I popped my vitamins today, that maybe why we crave more and more food, is our bodies are trying to get the vitamins and minerals it needs. Packaged foods, and even whole foods seem to be leaving many of us deficient in some vitamins and minerals. Especially if your diet is not very varied and full of “junk” food.

So, maybe we have lost our ability to portion control in the US, because our body keeps increasing our hunger hoping to get some of the essential nutrients it needs. Maybe it is not just about fat cells and set points.

What do you think?
