Ain't many fat people in old pictures from 100+ years ago.... I know life was harder.... but no GMO & Hybridized wheat back then either!

As far back as I can remember, my mother was always
OBESE. So was her father and some others.

In around 1960s my sisters friend was a hippo , so was the rest of
her family.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is part of the problem, but so is hybridized wheat.

They probably ate lots of FISH, foods from the sea contain everything, all the minerals...

They did eat *fermented* poi...and coconut. Wild boar I think...

Probably ate fruit too I'm thinking

There are loads of reasons why people are fatter now, and not all of them are diet changes. But some are.

It does seem like some indigenous socieities do even worse on junk European/american foods than European based people do... I will give you that!

At least our European genes are used to the trad European diet. (not the junk European/american diet)

People ate an honest 3 meals a day with little snacking. No soda or chocolate. Almost no refined sugars. Very little meat during the summer. Hard labor from sun up to sun down 6 days a week.

wow this is weird.
here i was thinking they used to eat natural boring stuff while we in modern times have fastfood, snacks and literary ALL the food we want. compared to back when people had to barter for food or had to grow there own and probably had like 1% of the choice in food we have today. probably less than that

who would have thought

Ploughing the farm fields or slamming the hammer at the factory all day long paid off.

I was reserching on Sous Vide, the 'it' thing amongst foodies and celebrity chefs.

Studies have shown that pretty much all plastic has been leeching into our food. I read somewhere that BPA-FREE plastics can and do leech more PLASTICIZERS than plastics with Bisphenol-A!

Even in fast food wrappers, plasticizers are everywhere!

All plastics are hazardous to your Health.

Yes doing the paperwork after the direct deposit is almost impossible for me... people outside probably hear a whole lotta shakin' going on the little "office"

The place I work is bringing in burmese by the boatload. Over a thousand have started working there in just a year. NOT A FAT ONE IN THE BUNCH.

I use honey or maple syrup.

BPA has been my focus since 1999, on all things autism. I was a preschool teacher for much of my 20s, and BPA and baby/infant/womb exposure..explained the sudden phenomena for me.

The water pipes people have coming into their homes, may also be leeching, BPA. Straight from the tap. I'm sure a plumber could confirm much of the 90s utilized plastic pipes in housing construction.


Thread: As much as 40% of store receipts may be coated in BPA

It’s the corn.

It’s the corn. Stuff is in everything.

Antibiotics kill the beneficial gut bacteria and now everyone has methylation issues.

Seen that at the theater right after it came out. We were rolling, the first half was entertainment gold.

#wheatbelly ...


it's trending

US farmers don't eat the corn they produce. They maily grow the monsanto laced dent corn variety for the industrial scale production of plastics, ethanol, oil/margarine, hydrolysed proteins, and all sorts of sophisticated chemicals to poison us.

The vast variety of packaged foods we see in the grocery story doesn't have much bio-diversity whatsoever, it's all a facade of different fake flavors.

There is lots of Dairy and cheese production in Denmark...makes sense in the context of BGH....

I've been taking Vitacost probiotics, Kombucha (Walmart has lots of flavors with probiotics reasonably priced) and some yogurts with probiotics too.

If traffic is not moving in the gut a person becomes toxic and sick.

hmmm...

the islanders and middle easterners have the highest prevelance of diabetes...

The Ethanol corn was the worst government idea IMHO to make the US codependent on other nations to import our food.

The idea of growing fuel corn (That has to be Federally subsidized because it is not naturally profitable in the marketplace) was a central planning communist agenda to shift our farms away from our own food production and self sufficiency.

BTW the deer that eat some of these GMO corns (not meant for human consumption) are growing to enormous body sizes and masses and are not something you want to hit with your car when a horny buck is going out of his mind chasing the doe in heat....

I doubt Denmark uses much, BGH. In my niece and nephew's case, BGH has nothing to do with it. It's genetic. Not sure they've ever eaten at McDonalds.

Point is, genetics and access to a great diet, can increase height in a single generation, where the parent generation lacked essential nutrients as children.

I'm at a computer more than I like too.

I still burn fire wood in the winter and hike ever deeper in the woods to get cured and dry firewood or cut and load it into trailers, split it and bring it into the house....

Still I think it helps me lose weight and we love our wood heat... think it also keeps us from getting sick as much having a warm dry house in spite of cool damp outside.

Earth grounding (going barefoot) as much as possible working outside has also helped me reduce inflammation and I believe would be a key to weightloss for many people.

We even sleep on a semi-metallic earth grounded bed sheet.

REM dream state does not get much better than that bed BTW.

Absolutely. People who live through wars and famine and deprivation do not unlock their genetic potential inherent in the DNA but the code is still there to bless future generations that may have more provision and nutrients.

Interesting...

I cannot eat wheat, and now dairy is a problem... never have weight issues, can eat whatever I want apart from that. I love to eat. Always been attracted to healthy food, tho.

way back when folks did not eat snacks like cookies, chips, candy, ice cream, and other desserts every day.

they might have had dessert on sundays.

i would bet that is part of it.

oh, and everything was much more manual.

cooking, cleaning, traveling, repairing, obtaining, farming, gardening, working, etc.

I got what you are saying but it didn't just start recently. Look at 50s tv. Otis, the Mayor, Aunt Bee and countless other fatties on Andy Griffith. Fatties on I Love Lucy. Dig out some old tv shows and you will see obese people were plentiful back then. We just didn't know any except locals and ones we saw on tv. Now the internet and countless tv shows we can see even more. When did gmo really start? If it was just recent why were there so many obese back then?

Gender-Bender Chemicals are Turning Boys Into Girls
[link to www.naturalnews.com (secure)]
The government of Denmark has released a 326-page report affirming that endocrine disrupting chemicals are probably continuing to the birth of fewer males and the "feminization" of existing ones.

The report centers on chemicals like PVC, flame retardants, phthalates, dioxins, PCBs and bisphenol-A, all of which mimic the action of estrogen in the body. The researchers concluded that due to the prevalence of these chemicals, children could easily be exposed to high enough levels to place them at "critical risk" of harm.

Gender-bender chemicals causing early puberty in girls
[link to www.naturalnews.com (secure)]
"Endocrine disrupting" chemicals that mimic or interfere with the body's natural sex hormones are partially responsible for early puberty in girls, according to a study conducted by researchers from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York.

"Research has shown that early pubertal development in girls can have adverse social and medical effects, including cancer and diabetes later in life," researcher Mary Wolff said. "Our research shows a connection between chemicals that girls are exposed to on a daily basis and either delayed or early development."

After my limited reading into Sous Vide, I decided against it. I blame all plastics, liners, BPA-free or not-BPA=free...

I also blame SOY in messing with our endocrine and hormonal balance.

Traditionally SOY is fermented, historically in SE Asia in the form of bean pastes and soy sauce, sure there's Tofu and Soy Milk...

What I'm trying to say it's never really eaten by itself or in the form of extruded 'textured soy protein'. The health food fanatics in the 1970's and 1980's embraced soy wholesale. It's everywhere in processed and fast food.

Soybean and corn oil??? Only from chemical reactions!!!

Industrial foodstuffs are literally killing everybody!
