Why do adults go on and on eating for pleasure and overeat whereas children are picky eaters and stop when they are full?

I think many of us were raised with the "eat EVERYTHING on your plate" mentality, which forced us to overeat as children. This creates a problem, because it circumvents your natural brain signals that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. Children naturally have this signal and most of them listen to it, I think we have been programmed to ignore it.
