I understand food wasn’t always so abundant, and humans were well served to store excess consumed energy as fat for later use. What I don’t understand is why the body keeps storing fat to the point where a person becomes morbidly obese and it puts their entire health at risk. Why isn’t there a point where the body just let’s the extra calories pass through without saving for later?

Why do people die from old age? Because something else failed before that was an issue.
Most animals advance to the point of breeding. After that point you no longer affect the eco system.
Teeth rot, bones break, infection kills.
Your body never had excess nutrition for most of our history, no mammal did. If you can get excess, store it for later!
