"most natural high carb foods ... have a low calorie density"
Need to combine with the equally true observation of most modern processed high carb foods have a ridiculously high calorie density.
Apples are only in season some of the year, so when you can get them, pig out, of course it takes a lot of work to find and harvest apples and the natural supply is fairly limited in quantity and your stomach can only physically hold so many apples ... and millennia later the same taste receptor and insulin feedback loops results in some dude drinking an entire 2 liter of corn syrup soda while sitting on the couch watching a movie.
