> Nature has a way of limiting how much of a certain substance you can consume.
Is your belief that "Nature" is an actor which can (intentionally or unintentionally) limit human consumption? Or are you saying something more like: "there's a physical limit to how much air a human can breathe in a day"?
Not op - think it’s more along the lines of “humans evolved with nature as a constraint” and industrialization has the ability to remove that constraint.
I think it's a figurative way of saying that our tastes developed in a natural environment where the things we crave (mainly sugar and fat) were limited and packaged in healthier forms (fruits, nuts, meat).
