Another thing about low-sugar fruits and oatmeal is that they're physically hard to binge on. It's not too difficult to munch through a pint of ice cream or a loaf of bread -- stuff like that goes down quickly and smoothly and doesn't require a lot of effort to eat, so it's perfect binge food. Steel-cut oats, on the other hand, take half an hour to cook, and your jaws start to get tired sometime during the second apple.
