Pre-civilization, or troglodite diet. Meat, when we could find it, steal it or kill it. Wild fruit, when in season. Bushes and grasses. Occasionally roots or tubers.
Once we settled and started turning grain into flour and figured how to get the sugar out of cane and beets, the dice were cast, and came up snake eyes. Lean hunter gatherers evolved into bakerssapians,and they, in turn, created a race of foodies and couch potatoes.
Do the research. Just look around, but not at me. I'm just big boned, really!

Now, where did I hide those chocolate eclairs?
