Well... when we were like cave men and calories were hard to get, hunger pangs make more sense from an evolutionary standpoint.

But now, through farming technologies, food has never been more abundant. Yes we've saved people from dying of famine, but then the corn producers grew so much more corn that were beyond America's daily dietary need, they then could use much of it for HFCS, say. Or you know, Taco Bell's fourthmeal.
