100%, we all have it. As to how many have the version of it that promotes obesity, that is far more difficult to determine.

So it seems like there is more work needed to determine how many people have self-control issues (as implied in other posts) and how many would need a different supporting structure to avoid obesity, to put things perhaps too simply.

That is correct. Odds are someone will carry out some sort of epidemiological study. Such studies are still in their infancy though.
