Have you ever seen those old political cartoons about the 'upper' classes, depicting them all as extremely (like actually round in shape) fat folks always eating at a table while others starve? The stereotypical caricature came from somewhere in reality, and my bet is that eating all you want has always been a staple of people in a pretty good position in life.
This is also observed in Korea: in North Korean culture dear leader is always round, signalling abundance, while the opposite is true in the South, where food is actually abundant.
And also people who have trouble knowing, or were never taught when enough is enough.
