600 is just not enough.
4 AM
- Honey, I'm hungry.
- Why are you eating so much lately?
Yeah, 4 AM and craving for food, in this latitude we are in that tmei of the year where our head tells us "stockpile some calories! Winter is coming!" [1].
Source. Yet, the ORIGINAL source remains unknown.
Lets round up that humankind became sedentary around 10000 BCE (this is a VERY rough round up, since there's tens of thousands of years from place to place on Earth).
This means -since that time- humankind did not have to worry about "stockpiling calories" because food was no longer as scarce as it was when we where gatherers-hunters. 12000 years without having to worry about "what will we eat today" were just not enough to suppress that feeding frenzy we cope with every, singe, year.
For around 600 human generations we lived and thrived thanks to the abundance of food. If we had the data, a child could memorize his/her entire genealogy back in time until the stone age. After all, some children memorized all 802 Pokemon... 600 names should be a piece of cake.
Around the same time we became sedentary, we domesticated dogs. They've come a long way too, with over 12000 generations in their budget, we helped them "evolve" into useless yap machines.
Today, those yap machines cannot survive on their own. My guess is, in around 12000 human generations, we'll be able to get rid of that unnecessary instinctive hunger we have; this is, in 360000 years.
In the meantime we'll have to rely on a strong will, or in one of these:

Domestication of animals is an adaption to the needs of humans, they have no rights otherwise.
We are a very strange species, we have what we want yet continue to destroy each other and the planet.
Indeed, and we love to point it out from computers made out of plastics, gold, platinum... All resources that destroy or damage the planet when we extract them.
Now, there's a little subjectivity in that term (destroy the planet), we actually en-globe it as if we could actually destroy it, when all we do is undermine our livability in it.
IF we destroy the atmosphere, the water, the lands... And we doom ourselves to extinction, life... would still find a way (out of extremophile bacteria), the planet, would still be there... alive.
But, we are also selfish: We do love to refer to "it" as if it was "us".
I've got a question. What in heavens name is that devious device with the word locked? And, why should it get in the way of the harmonious relationship between the fridge and us? Okay, it's actually two questions, not that it matters. Anyways, we certainly gone a long way from being hunters-gatherers to voracious couch potatoes, I mean to a self-sustaining species. I guess that's evolution for you. Makes me wonder though... what will become of us in a few thousand years?
Seriously.. I'm hating this forceful love triangle.. I mean who, on earth, would think of separating two, who are madly truly deeply in love and then this third angle i.e. the lock comes out of nowhere..
It is made to help us suppress out natural, primitive, instincts!
We are no longer cavemen!
So it's like a gag only less kinky?
Yeah it seems like there has to be a triangle for everything or is it a quadrangle since there is still that cupboard mistress where the snacks like chips are stored.
"What will become of us in a few thousand years?"
I believe Wall-e had it pretty much figured out.
That's one future I don't want to see. Though, it's not an impossibility.
