Humans possess surprising nutritional intelligence:
The international study, led by the University of Bristol (UK), set out to re-examine and test the widely-held view that humans evolved to favour energy dense foods and our diets are balanced simply by eating a variety of different foods. Contrary to this belief, its findings revealed people seem to have "nutritional wisdom," whereby foods are selected in part to meet our need for vitamins and minerals and avoid nutritional deficiencies.
Lead author Jeff Brunstrom, Professor of Experimental Psychology, said: "The results of our studies are hugely significant and rather surprising. For the first time in almost a century, we've shown humans are more sophisticated in their food choices, and appear to select based on specific micronutrients rather than simply eating everything and getting what they need by default."
The paper, published in the journal Appetite, gives renewed weight to bold research carried out in the 1930s by an American paediatrician, Dr Clara Davis, who put a group of 15 babies on a diet which allowed them to "self-select", in other words eat whatever they wanted, from 33 different food items. While no child ate the same combination of foods, they all achieved and maintained a good state of health, which was taken as evidence of "nutritional wisdom."
The study is also notable as it features an unusual collaboration. Professor Brunstrom's co-author is Mark Schatzker, a journalist and author, who is also the writer-in-residence at the Modern Diet and Physiology Research Center, affiliated with Yale University. [...]
Professor Brunstrom explained: "I watched Mark give a fascinating talk which challenged the received view among behavioural nutrition scientists that humans only really seek calories in food. He pointed out, for example, that fine wine, rare spices, and wild mushrooms are highly sought after but are a poor source of calories.
[...] Mark Schatzker added: "The research throws up important questions, especially in the modern food environment. For example, does our cultural fixation with fad diets, which limit or forbid consumption of certain types of foods, disrupt or disturb this dietary "intelligence" in ways we do not understand?"
[...] "Studies have shown animals use flavour as a guide to the vitamins and minerals they require. If flavour serves a similar role for humans, then we may be imbuing junk foods such as potato chips and fizzy drinks with a false 'sheen' of nutrition by adding flavourings to them. In other words, the food industry may be turning our nutritional wisdom against us, making us eat food we would normally avoid and thus contributing to the obesity epidemic."

Yep, that's more or less the problem. So much of what is being marketed deliberately abuses that to get people to eat more low quality food. Traditionally those tastes could be counted on, to some extent, to figure out what to eat, but now it's likely exactly wrong.
This is one of the dangers with genetic engineering where you look at a food and it may not longer have the nutritional value that the body expects.

I've watched a few videos over the past couple years. Those 'food deserts' are entirely artificial, in that, grocery chains actually shut stores down, creating said deserts. Many of the deserts were properly served in recent years, others in less recent years. But, due to crime etc, stores were shut down, thereby creating the desert.
Dollar General, however, seems to be making an effort to identify such deserts, and locating their stores in them.
Which, is a little weird to me, because the local DGs around here do not carry fresh produce. The nearest thing to fresh produce is in the frozen foods section, where you can sometimes find packets of frozen vegetables. No fresh lettuce, celery, peppers, cucumbers, potatoes, tomatoes, etc.
I can't find that video now, but this article seems to support the idea - https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/02/business/dollar-general-family-dollar-fresh-food/index.html [cnn.com]
And, of course, I can't say whether it's more bullshit and hype, or maybe DG actually is addressing the issue.
We can most certainly condemn the major food chains for creating the deserts: Kroger, A&P, Piggly Wiggly, and all the rest. And, most definitely WalMart. As near as I can tell, WalMart never builds in the poor sections of any town, they much prefer shopping centers out near the city limits, sometimes outside city limits.

That poses an interesting question. Supposing I lived in one of those food deserts, and I wanted to invest in a grocery store, specifically addressing the status of 'food desert'. The zoning laws, as written, don't allow for a grocery store. How hard would it be to get an exception? I can imagine that in one town or city, the city council would readily agree to an exception it I just present my case to them. In another city, you might have to enlist the aid of a high profile lawyer. While, in yet another city, you will flatly be told "NO!" and no amount of lawyering will gain anything.
Then, there is another barrier to entry. The major food distributors create barriers to creating accounts, and they may just refuse to serve Joe Schmuck's Local Grocery for one reason or another. Maybe the drivers don't want to go into a high crime area, for instance. Or, you can't meet a minimum account level. Or, you can't put $xx,xxx up for deposit. And, you, Joe Schmuck, can't create an entire food supply chain on your own, with only a million or two dollars at your disposal!

Walmart's major targets are rural areas where there is no other big box store around. That way, they don't really have to compete all that heavily on either price or quality, because nobody wants to travel an hour just to get groceries.
So far, the best response I've seen to this problem is a push for community gardening, where locals turn any space they can into productive agricultural land that gives them just a bit of fresh food. In the kind of places you'd never expect to see it, among the kinds of people you might not expect to be farming, you'll find guys taking up a shovel and getting plants in the ground to feed their families. However, some places where I've seen that, the response from the city government is "Wait, we could buildings there. Get out of there, stupid gardeners!"

When she was pregnant my wife 'ordered' some fruit that I had never heard of before (some kind of guava). I've witnessed similar things with other pregnant women, almost all of them had a craving for food that they'd probably rarely eat when not pregnant. As I'm convinced that evolution is likely the root of these cravings, my take is that you should always cater to them.

We were taught about this in introductory psyche. Our prof referred to it as the "wisdom of the body" and that phrase may still be current? He related the story of a toddler who kept asking for salt and/or salty snacks to the point where his parents thought it was an immature game and refused to give him anything other than normal food. Tragically, the kid died because it turned out he had a rare condition that resulted in such a craving. I don't know what it was, and if a high salt diet was a long term treatment or a temporary fix, but the kid's body inherently *knew* that it needed an unusually high salt intake.
Also in the same lesson, we learned that this "wisdom" is modified by culture and kind of ruined as you get older--e.g, you culturally learn that sugary foods are good, even though they're bad for you.

But as far as I can tell, fruit just simply doesn't seem to have any net calories. Nature's candy is good for you and won't make you fat.

I suspect sugary foods are more a matter of super-stimulating a normal baseline craving evolved to encourage us to eat fruit and other such calorie-rich foods, back when fattening up enough to survive the lean times was an important survival trait. Obesity was a rare problem for our prehistoric (and pre-human) ancestors, so there was never any pressure to evolve a "that's enough" response. All calories were good calories, and sweets were a rich, transitory source to be gorged on when available.
We haven't really had a bountiful civilization long enough to evolve much "body wisdom" for dealing with the excesses it makes possible. Meanwhile there's lots of money to be made by marketing to those hungers.

The brain consumes a lot of energy and I suspect that our brains probably consume more energy now than before?

I believe we've been biologically modern humans for ~50 (100?) thousand years.
But they definitely consume more energy than our small-brained ancestors. I don't think that made much evolutionary difference on our love of sugar though - pretty much every animal will eat its fill of rich foods whenever possible. It's only with the advent of modern agriculture(and cheap sugar) that it was possible for most people to get too many calories in their diet - that used to be an indulgence that few but the uppermost classes could afford.

Avodah Zarah 36b: "They decreed connection with a heathen child that it should cause defilement by seminal omission so that an Israelite child should not become accustomed to commit PEDERASTY with him. It is therefore to be concluded that a heathen (non jew) girl from the age of 3 + 1 day for inasmuich as she is then capable of the sexual act she likewise defiles by a flux. This is obvious"
Avodah Zarah 37a: "R. Joseph said: Come and hear - a maiden aged 3 years and 1 day may be acquired in marriage by a coition (sex) and if her deceased husband's brother cohabits with her she becomes his"

Choschen Hamm 266,1: "A Jew may keep anything he finds which belongs to the Akum (Gentile). For he who returns lost property (to Gentiles) sins against the Law by increasing the power of the transgressors of the Law. It is praiseworthy, however, to return lost property if it is done to honor the name of God, namely, if by so doing, Christians will praise the Jews and look upon them as honorable people."

Tosefta, Abda Zara VIII, 5: "How to interpret the word 'robbery.' A goy is forbidden to steal, rob, or take women slaves, etc., from a goy or from a Jew. But a Jew is NOT forbidden to do all this to a goy."
Seph. Jp., 92, 1: "God has given the Jews power over the possessions and blood of all nations."
Schulchan Aruch, Choszen Hamiszpat 156: "When a Jew has a Gentile in his clutches, another Jew may go to the same Gentile, lend him money and in turn deceive him, so that the Gentile shall be ruined. For the property of a Gentile, according to our law, belongs to no one, and the first Jew that passes has full right to seize it."
