...then I wonder if the evolutionary mechanism for Vitamin A consumption is to promote weight gain for lean times.
I am reminded of fructose promoting weight gain in bears that raid bees nests for honey. It fattens them up ready for hibernation. Possibly even the Omega 3 in salmon is an issue here too. Although that might be reaching.
There's that famous anecdote of wolves going straight for the liver - wolves don't hibernate, or eat sugar - so maybe this helps fatten them up? Maybe they don't do that every single time.
