Eating
Why must people eat and eat until they are ready to explode? Why not simply stop when you feel full? The phenomena of the buffet and all-you-can eat creates the mentality that you must get your money's worth. I've seen people breathe in their food, like air. I've seen people have four dishes of dessert. Granted, there does exist people with super-high metabolism, but the majority of us just get fatter with every all-you-can-eat meal. This is a society of greed, and the all-you-can-eat restauranteurs reflect this. Overconsumption is a plague and we should all learn to stop when we've had enough.

Everyone wants to get their money's worth, so they either eat and eat or pick the most expensive stuff. And its not like we eat "all you can eat" every single day!
All you can eat is also a more flexible menu so you also get to eat a bit of everything instead of picking one or two things from the regular menu. People also tend to go to all you can eat in bigger groups. Those are the 2 big reasons why I like all you can eat - the socializing and getting to eat a bigger variety.
Mmmm... four desserts. Can I have more??
