[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Human physiology has not changed over the past fifty years. [b]People didn't have iron discipline back in the 40s-[/b]-we were addicted to cigarettes and alcohol. We had more physical jobs and fewer cars. Humans are pleasure seekers. Now we are also addicted to food and electronics.

I grew up in the 70s and we ate occasional junk food, but were too poor to eat out regularly and didn't have a TV. In the 80s we smoked, drank slimfast and diet coke for meals, and walked everywhere. We were skinny, though.[/quote]

Well, the depression and wartime rationing took the place of havign iron discipline in many cases. :)  [/quote]

Yes, that's the point. For nearly all of human history, people didn't have unlimited access to food. Now we do.[/quote]

Yeah, that's why Eastern Europeans/Russians are getting bigger now after years of rationing, etc.[/quote]

Yeah, it takes some time because the eating habits of the rationing generation have to shift over time toward a different mindset in the younger generation. But it will happen.[/quote]
