Is the answer to happiness actually hidden in the food that we consume, each and every day?

I am that person. Overweight on a low income and depressed enough to binge eat without caring for the consequences. I do try to mask my emotions by using a carelessly set diet. Seems that I sway from good foods to anything&everything as the moods of the day change. I have a few friends with the same problem of comfort eating quite recklessly. We tried a weekly group once and so sadly turned itself into a binge session for all of us. The final straw was when I was left with a table full of bad foods and although I asked the others not to leave them at my house, strangely they did not respond. Now I think back it started with one woman who disrepected the rules and that disrespect affected all of us. I ended up binging on that food after they left.
I conclude that respect of each other and our personal emotions governed how and what we ate. Junk food is a quick fix and cheaper than good food.
