ParticipantWait, what did I say?
I’ll take credit for posting that picture though — that thing is amazing.

ParticipantConcho makes a good point. It would be interesting to know the full role that modern “refinements” such as high fructose corn syrup play in the rise of obesity and diabetes over the past 50 years. I wonder if we consumed the same quantity but different quality of junk, things would be different. It seems as if everything we eat nowadays is corn — even the meat we eat was fed with corn. We produce a lot of corn in this country, and it all has to end up somewhere — mostly on our hips and asses. All that corn can’t be good for our systems.
What’s better, a glass full of natural sugar-kool aid, or a glass full of HFCS Coke?

ParticipantSocioeconomic factors play a role as well. The cheapest foods are usually the ones that are the least healthy, eg: McDonalds — feed your family of 6, 12 cheeseburgers for $6 bucks and you don’t even have to waste time cooking/cleaning!!
I’ve read that evolutionarily, Pacific Islanders have developed digestive systems catered towards fish and plant processing. It wasn’t until the introduction of fatty red meat in the last couple hundred years that the stereotypical Samoan/Hawaiian sumo-size came to be. Their digestive systems are just not evolved to efficiently process all of the fats. Any evolutionary biologists in the house know if this is true or not?
