One of the reasons we're so fat,

We no longer have to hunt and gather.......and run for our lives from larger predators.

We’re not naturally very fat, it is just our modern lifestyles that make us fat, and those are the product of us using our intelligence to prosper beyond what any other animal could achieve.
