The human body is designed to spend its day running around to find enough to eat. Yep. In addition, our bodies are designed to eat several small meal portions throughout the day as opposed to two or three large ones. Recent evolutionary history has gradually tended more and more to the latter.
The most amazing thing of all (which you'd never know just listening to the doomsayers) is that in spite of our fat epidemic, our American lifespan is higher than ever and still on the rise.

I'm going off of memory here but it seems like I read back in college that hunter-gatherer societies spend very little time per day finding food. It averages out to something like 2-3 hours a day. The rest of the time (for the men) is lounging around chewing the fat. (pun intended)
