Question by Neurofractal<\/i>: Why does the human body store fat endlessly?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why isn’t there a mechanism that determins when enough fat has been stored before it becomes unhealthy.<\/p>\n

I mean, if I want to fill my gas tank more than capacity, the gas will squirt out of the tank. But the human body is like a gas tank which would grow the more as you put more gas.<\/p>\n

It would be stupid to design a small car with a gas tank the size of a train. Nature should’ve predicted this.

REMOVE your answer NOW, or else I will post insults and put-downs on all your future questions. Also, you’ve been reported and I will report all your future answers and questions.<\/p>\n

You’re STUPID and you assume things about me. I’m NOT fat, just curious about this fact of the human body. Some Ass_holes like you cannot answer a question without attacking the questioner. Please fall off a cliff and make us all happy.<\/p>\n

Answer by Aaron<\/i>
You underestimate the benefit to having a giant “gas tank”. You’d be grateful for an expandable gas tank if you were constantly worried about where your next fill-up was coming from!<\/p>\n

Your body’s fat storage strategy evolved in an environment where food supply was *uncertain*! Storing as much fat as your body could possibly accommodate made sure you weren’t *dead* by the time you next found food.<\/p>\n
