My takeaway is the "evolved to" argument is emotionally compelling because it appeals to this idea of "human nature", but their take was that evolutionary fitness is rather concerned with the first few decades, that once we're past child rearing age, it's just frosting (pardon the sweet pun).
I loved the last quote. I think the fallacy exposed here is, eating a hunter-gatherer diet implies fitness, doesn't imply that eating something outside the diet doesn't imply fitness. N > P, -N !> -P. Anyway, I don't see what the fuss is all about (this one particular article anyway). Type II diabetes is basically a family member at this point so if I can avoid getting fat as I get older *and* avoid all the complications, sign me up.
