I mean yeah, if you’re living in prehistoric/ancient times with a scarcity of food then having more sources of food to use is beneficial, but that isn’t really an issue in modern society. People in developed countries are more likely to be overweight than undernourished, because, like many other evolutionary holdovers from our prehistoric past, the urge to eat any and all food you can get your hands on no longer a positive trait in modern society. What was evolutionarily beneficial thousands to millions of years ago is, surprise, not the same as what’s beneficial now
