Your Brain and Appetite.

Our brain was designed for the Hunter Gatherer. Our primate ancestors were meant to seek food and conserve energy in between hunts to be able to survive an impending famine. The obesity pandemic today can arguably be attributed to an evolutionary mismatch in which our primate brain, designed to hunt and conserve fuel, is faced with a society that is laden with hyperpalatable foods at every corner we turn. The brain dictates our behaviour and weight retention to help us with a famine that will never come!
