You're absolutely right about the rate of glucose, that is effectively what we call the glycemic index, and lower GI means slower energy... which is good.
But there is another source of energy, called Ketones, that the body can run on. When there is less glucose, the body can convert fat to ketones to produce energy.
I understand what your saying, and you do make some good points, but I don't think humans should get obese due to lack of exercise. Some exercise is important, but only really important as a muscle builder. Walking everyday is all that should be needed.
Weight with a normal diet self regulating. You eat until you get full, and this is primarily run by the hormone Leptin. Leptin is secreted by your fat cells, and the more circulating in your body, the more your appetite is inhibited. Unfortunately, carbohydrates block the hormones message, by causing Leptin Resistance.
As you can see, this sets off a vicous cycle, where the only result can be overeating.
It actually makes me mad that animal fats have been demonised by the media, when in reality, it's the carbohydrates that are causing all the problems. Animal fat is good for you.

Well what you said made sense up until the last sentence... but carbohydrates, i.e. your oatmeal, breaks down into sugar in the bloodstream.

And how does this relate to the fact that children are getting Diabetes type 2 younger and younger, at an increasing rate?
... ditch the soda, pizza, pasta, burgers, donuts, etc.
The answer is simple; carbohydrates.
Most of our carbs come from plants more closely related to grass(corn, wheat), than to a vegetable
Solution: eat grass fed animals, eat lots of root and leafy green vegetables and some fruit
