Any system that involves feedback loops, as almost all biological systems do, 
 is complex and chaotic.
While not exactly predictable, these systems do produce predictable patterns as 
long as the original variables remain the same regardless of their random 
quantities.

As the poet John Robert Colombo said,
"'History never repeats itself but it rhymes,' said Mark Twain"

As long as the nutritional variables remain as they were when they evolved, 
all living things will fit into predictable patterns.  For Humans this 
means slender, athletic people. 

Of course, what the original human diet was is when this all breaks down into 
argument....

As Slartibartfarst ( a parody of Mandelbrot in "Hitchhikers Guide to the 
Galaxay") said,

Slartibartfast: "Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I think that the chances of 
finding out what's actually going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing 
to do is to say, 'Hang the sense of it,' and keep yourself busy. I'd much rather 
be happy than right any day."
Arthur: "And are you?"
Slartibartfast: "Ah, no. (laughs) Well, that's where it all falls down, of 
course."
