Calorie-packed fast food encourages over-eating and weight gain because it is out of step with human evolution, scientists have said.

They pointed out that humans are designed for conditions in which food is relatively scarce and low in energy.

Ok, which is it? Did we evolve or were we designed? (None of this 'we were designed to evolve' crap allowed.)

Semantics. I might have said that humans are adapted to conditions in which food is realtively scarce. But I may care too much about precision, and journalists definitely don't care enough.
