Our metabolisms are "tuned" to a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. You might eat on Monday and not again for a week. In such circumstances, slow metabolisms (like mine) were a survival benefit. In the world of supermarkets, they are not.

Similarly, humans evolved to seek foods rich in fats, calories, and salt, and sugar. It is no mistake that these things taste good to us and that we crave them: they meant survival in the neolithic.

Our bodies have not caught up with our technology or culture. Give it another 100,000 years, maybe.

So, I guess hunting up a BurgerKing and gathering a Whopper doesn't count ...
