> Ability to manage caloric intake in times of abundance may not be something humans have in general
Even in the USA, a country that is not just wealthy but also culturally obesity-friendly, the majority of people are not obese. In less obesity-friendly regions, such as Europe, only a small part of the population is obese.
Most people do manage their caloric intake. And of those who don't, many may still be able to, but simply choose not to.
It seems that humans in general do have the ability to manage caloric intake, but many don't use it.
I do think it's a personal problem. (But we should still work together as a society to help those who fail to help themselves.)
