[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What makes you think we are more resilient/strong than out mothers, grandmothers? I don't think this is the case with me at all. My grandma was born in 1910, ate food they grew back in Europe, worked in the garden and with animals, took food to the fields if she wasn't working. Had to make the fire first for many decades and cooked for a large family. My mom is not healthy so much right now, but post WWII child, survived being preemie, worked out of school till retirement, put up with above mentioned grandma....her MIL, still cleaned and cooked after 8 hours work. Opened her own business, took insane care of my dad her husband when he was sick and immobile. How are we stronger than them in any aspect? My grandma survived two wars and had three kids during WWII and raised them while being a peasant. Are you rich?[/quote]

My MIL did all of this but she's tiny due to ricketts (childhood spent eating potato peels in a Soviet labor camp).  She's no doubt mentally stronger than me, but her bones are not.  [/quote]

My grandmother grew up in Japan during WW2.  She had all kinds of lingering health complications from nutritional deficiencies from childhood that were brought into old age.  She was certainly a mentally strong woman and even quite athletic (a really talented tennis player) but we definitely have much better access to nutrition now.[/quote]
