Eating food comforts them. They think about the good times they had when they were younger with their parents eating stuff they loved. So now when they eat it is not just to satisfy their hunger but also to satisfy their wish for love and family warmth.

People who eat when not hungry is usually done to keep their mouth preoccupied. Try sucking on mints or chew gum to reduce unwanted pounds.
