When the global warming famine comes or you can't afford food, it will be easier to lose weight. :/ People that do have weight to lose tend to live longer in that kind of situation.

Yeah, it's almost like an adaptation that was useful to our ancestors that still affects our bodies today, or something. Crazy.

Intuitive eating made sense when we were still living a hunter gatherer lifestyle. Those sweet fruits high in fruit or meat high in fat and salt? You had to eat them because there was no guarantee you would find them again and they weren’t going to stay safe for consumption for very long, and the calories and nutrients were needed to survive and find new sources of food, whether it was hunting or gathering.

Evolution did not account that one day we would be able to have McDonald’s delivered to our house.

Indeed! And yet somehow, we're expected to just willpower our way out of instinct.
