Choice
Here choice is paramount. Given sufficient availability of both fruit and starches I touch on one of the issues I have delayed on choice. Choice can hereby go to the heart of consumption, unlike the sun which will consume starches and sugars, fats and micronutrients, animals and planets without any hesitation.

So why do we choose?
Clearly humans have a specific DNA tendency, but that does not explain choice where that choice is to conserve consumption. Conservation or abstinence not just for future use out of fear of availability but for the sake of finding an alternative that is more palatable.

The most palatable
And here is the crux palatability. Given little choice in environment palatability is not the primary concern, if it's digestible then down it goes, though in extreme circumstances indigestible substances will be eaten to stave off hunger - hunger?

Choice is arguably the path to choose and I explore that Food and Choice but availability has to exist. So there is a play-off. Do I choose to exist and consume at any cost or do I exist to choose at any cost, the latter not quite making the logical argument and the first isn't sustainable. But it is the first that requires availability for the second to exist or is it? Could choice be at the root of consumption and hunger and if so how could choice be the method of availability.

Looking back at the calorie issue where sugar provides more calories than consumed in metabolism that starches can this argument be furthered. Plants clearly get their energy from the DNA ability to use direct sunlight to forge new cells, albeit that micro-nutrients may be used. No doubt someone will point out at this point there not everything is down to micro-nutrients.
