It could make sense that prolonged periods of no-food are not only something our bodies have adapted to survive, but have adapted to thrive upon as part of their natural cycle.

How do you make the jump from "Most able to survive famine." to "Thrive on famine."? It doesn't seem obvious to me that we would automatically evolve to the latter result over the former.
