Wait, how does having fewer resources make it harder to consume fewer resources?
I find it easier to not eat ice cream if I don't have any ice cream.

- jim-greer 11y agoThis is true. I am not advocating being fat. I, myself, am not fat. But the parent comment seemed to be saying that our ancestors had more willpower than we do now, making them slimmer. Occam's Razor would suggest that it was the absence of ice cream.
