We eat more, but surely overeating means being gorged and feeling sick. We certainly do not do that.
Anyway it is perfectly natural in all the animal world, look how many overweight dogs and cats there are. In the past when there were periods when there was not enough food and times when there was a lot, it was sensible to eat a lot and put on weight when food was available, ready to call on ones stores when food was in short supply.
Feasting has roots that go far back in history. As long as homo, not just sapiens, but other versions can be traced back, it can be shown there were times when there were great gatherings when everyone feasted. Why not?
