Well working out is not beneficial to survival, we didn’t need to lift weights to get stronger it would happen as a result of day to day activities as hunter gatherers.

Eating a lot is beneficial to survival because it increases our fat reserves aiding us in dry spells.

Your primal instincts don’t care about good habits as they are far more focused on short term gains.
