[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 859178, member: 44622"] It is probably not so much a defense but more a coping mechanism. Our ancestor was in dire straits when reduced to eating only leaves and roots so the body evolved an efficient process for using the carbs in them and saving any spare as fat. Since then we have learned to squeeze the essence out of leaves and roots and sell it in packets called flour and sugar. Bit of a shock for a coping mechanism. Coupled with that is the foods on sale. Now I know that prepared foods have flour to bulk them and sugar to give them taste, walking round a supermarket is a whole new experience. The only stuff not made of flour and sugar seems to be the fresh meat aisle, the vegetable aisle and the hardware department. All the fish cakes and fingers, kievs, goujons, nuggets, dippers, pizzas, bread, cakes and hundreds of other products of strange, non natural shapes and covered in breadcrumbs. This is a personal view I have slowly come to after reading people like Briffa and Kendrick and many others. [/QUOTE]
