This is the Conversation Forum for 'You Are What You Eat' - The Impact of Diet on Behaviour << "In one set of identical twins..." Subject: health? Posted Jul 19, 2003 by dim12trav   Posting 1 As usual the medicoes (all degreed and certified) fail to take into account several things. Humans are multidimensional and the food we take is hardly all that we take into us. From tele broadcasts and the "spirit of this age" there are so many different things to deal with. Part of the local (timewise) tendency toward obesity is a reaction to the age we are in. To put it in other terms we as a defense against the absurdity of the age insulate ourselves (fat wise)from the over-arching conspiracy of those who rule this planet rejecting the recommendations of the so called "do Gooders." Like the preposterous issue of global warming (which has oscillated over a ten thousand years cycle) the tendecny to over eat and therefore become fat will take care of itself given enough time. Remember Malthus? The forces that seem to hem us into a box are only that, seeming forces or false forces. In America, we tend to blame anyone else for what we choose to do that is why the huge Cigarette lawsuits, and the coming fastfood lawsuits. All this is an complete over reaction to a short (timewise) period of obesity. In shorter terms stop complainning and let the people do as they please. Remember the Darwin awards, for those people who choose to remove themselves from the gene pool. The rewards are self evident and needn't be added upon.
