“I’m still waiting for our metabolisms to adapt to an era where food is abundant and obesity kills more than starvation (in the US at least).”

The problem is not the “abundance” of food, but a combination of lifestyle and choices of what to eat.

Millions of humans do not have obesity, because they have adapted, their eating habits and their uses of physical activity. They don’t need their metabolism to “adapt” to gluttony or sloth.

Oh, I see. You meant adapting our behavior while I thought you meant adapting our bodies. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Any ideas on how we could adapt our behavior to deal with climate change? Higher pollen counts and longer blooming periods are a pain to deal with when you’ve got allergies.
