yes, overeating in abundance periods, to survive lean times is a defense mechanism. Fat is an energy reserve system, completely natural, but it's not in modern times, where sugars are so prevalent. What you posit is partly true, but things as simple as eating healthier non fresh foods can be achieved. Eat a can of green beans instead of twinkies. Not ideal, but with proper food education, the food desert problem can be mitigated. Instead of eating Spam, eat frozen chicken, for example. Cheap and heaps healthier.
