Why do humans have a preference to over eat or over indulge and not just be satisfied with what is needed to sustain their life and health?
In: Biology
We all have a little monkey brain inside of us that is used to having to hunt, forage and compete for food in order to not starve to death. The few thousand years where we’ve had relative abundance doesn’t reprogram hundreds of thousands of years of fearing the daily threat or starvation; we are programmed to eat what we can when we can because tomorrow’s hunt might not work out in our favor.
