Basically as the title says. If I’m already obese right, why does my stomach still feel hungry when it has “food at home” aka an excess stored up as fat. Why would it not just utilize the energy that is already there and then when it gets to a certain body fat percentage become hungry again at that point? Why does the body just continue to store up fat to an uncomfortable and unhealthy point and keeps asking for more food when there is already so much available to it?
UPDATE: Thank you everyone for your responses. There are lots of great explanations and viewpoints here 😊.

Animals, not just humans, are not adapted for abundance. Scarcity of nutrients, in particular macro-nutrients like sugar and fat, have been the norm for the entirety of the history of life on Earth, until the early 20th Century. So, how would selective breeding be able to cope with a situation which it has never been exposed to before?
