OT – F as in Fat

[TemekuT]

The yardstick moved because of the proliferation of high carb, cheap fast food, and portion size. Eating out often leads to obesity.

The obesity solution is threefold:

1. clean, pure food prepared at home

2. more fruit and vegetable carbs and less grain carbs.

3. portion control

Looking at obese people in a compartmental fashion, does not go far enough. It’s the same evolutionary developed, neurochemical stimuli that drives people to overeat, that drives people to be wealthy – that is driving the world wide domino defaults. It just manifest in differently throughout society.

One way you could look at these evolutionary developed triggers are something that made us successful in the past, are now starting to blow up in our faces. The is about the time the species needs to evolve or go extinct

This post examines our own history on the planet, outlines how the ancient-derived reward pathways of our brain are easily hijacked by modern stimuli, and concludes that in very real ways, we have become addicted to the ‘consumptive behaviors’

You are correct CD. But that’s too philosophical deep.

Yeah, as a society we need to examine our priorities.

But in many ways, as individuals, we must go with the flow, but resist the flow when necessary for our own benefit.

We can’t change the world.

Why can’t we change the world?

If we honestly believe that certain food additives or behaviors (of various sorts) are detrimental to our health and society, why should we not try to change them?
