Our bodies are working fine. The problem is more to do with the food available. For those of us fortunate enough to live in the developed countries we have a constant supply of relatively cheap food. We even have seasonal foods available to us out of season (strawberries in winter etc). In the past much of what we would consume would be dictated by the seasons and the availability of food.

Due to our sedentary lives and over consumption of food, our bodies do the natural thing, store the excess for a time when there is not much food around, which for most of us doesn't come.

At least thats my pennies worth on the matter :)

Even if it wasn't a problem in the past, its still basically a genetic flaw from the point of view of humans today as we would stand a better chance of a longer live if we never became obese however much we ate.

 Doesn't matter how long we live, just whether we passed on our genetic makeup, evolution doesn't care if you die a fat 60 year old, it just cares if you had kids before you died
