I can't relate to our prehistoric ancestors.

I can only relate to my historic agricultural, skinny grandparents and their high carb diet ( grains / bread, potatoes, etc ) and family cooking books packed with desserts. Those desserts were, however, not avaliable 24/7 because they required efforts. Soda was always avaliable to my grandparent's generation though. But they never abused it, because that would have been wasteful.

I wouldn't have dared ask for a second tiny glass of soda with the meal when invited there. That would have been impolite.

And when prepackaged desserts and candy became more common and affordable, old habits of being very strict with money kept them thinking ''not spending money for someone else to cook desserts for me''.

They also had plenty of internal limits on eating ( thinking eating too much is wasting, getting fat is ugly and sinful, not fitting in your clothes anymore is expensive in labour or money )

And external limits ( not sitting next to food all day ( they were next to crops though...), plate and glass size, limited money to spend and back in the day, limited avaliability, not having someone baking desserts 24/7, being seen as, or called a glutton, mocked for getting fat, religious periods of fasting and seasonal food restrictions ).

I pointed out several times to my parents the difference in eating habits and plates / glass sizes, not genetics, explained why they were fat and our farmers relatives, still then living, were skinny. Mother only listened with facing T2 diabetes, father never cared much and picked meds.
