#2 Gonna have to ear the way humans were designed to. No mammoths around anymore, but cows will do. More fat, less carbs. Lots of veggies because they don't fight back or run away.

#3 Lots of veggies because they don't fight back

I dunno about that. Saw a billboard for a nursery selling "carnivorous plants" the other day...

#5 Yeah, 4000 years of history of mankind living between famines. Of course if you have no history, you don't understand the achievement you made as a successful civilization.

About a hundred years ago, fat was considered a sign of wealth, ie Fat Cat. The working class was lean (and hungry). Now the rich pay for dieticians, personal trainers, et al to look 'healthy'. We're graced with the fattest poor in the world.

#6 Covid is a disease of density.

It's the artificial over-density of inner cities that's the accelerant to disease.

#8 Baffles me a bit when I see these grotesque behemoths riding those electric carts at the grocery store and wonder what is between their ears. But, whatever makes them happy (taxpayer-supported medical care aside).

#9 so called fat shaming was the norm during the 1900's my grandmother and father , both lived through the depression, my dads a ww2 vet, routinely made fun of fat people to their faces and warned me to stay in shape.

#10 I've lost 5-10 pounds during COVID and wife has lost about 25. Probably a commentary on my cooking. Instead of delicious, fattening resaurant meals.

#11 I saw an article that talked about the food pyramid. As soon as we put out the food pyramid out with its carb heavy base (designed to get votes out of the farm states) the US average weight started increasing.

#12 Fewer home-cooked meals, microwaves, high-fructose corn syrup, "going large"...lots of reasons.

Man, growing up, if you were a fat boy or girl in school, you heard some uncomplimentary things.
