> About the point you're making, 2 generations before you and me, people where fit, more attentive & generally healthy (outside vaccines that prevent diseases now & positive effects due to advancements in medicine), what changed? Air pollution, water quality, pestecide, food/produce quality, plastic particule everywhere... I find this perspective so bizarre. Whats the most probable in 2 generation of exponentially increasing and barely regulated technological changes : culture has change so dramatically as to change human nature and makes us all lazy... or... something in the environment/food chain is having phisiolical/biological effects...

People living in country side & eating from organic farming, they're doing alright (similar to our closest ancestors), but that's beside the point Cultural change over 2/3 even 10 generations will not significantly alter your biology. Pollution & disintegration in modern world you're referring to, they do have negative effects on our health, but it's not the whole story and they possibly cannot have effects on your decisions about what you eat and how you spend your time right? I'm particularly referring to obesity caused by over eating, bad life style etc (not the other rare serious persistent irreversible kind that happens as side effect of more serious ailments or genetics)

  I can't quite understand if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me... You seem to be restating my point as if you are contradicting my statements. > People living in country side & eating from organic farming, they're doing alright (similar to our closest ancestors), but that's beside the point Maybe ( I would love to see some sources for this assertion). But even if I give that to you, you basically saying that modern environment are somewhat obisidigenic... which is what I was saying. > Cultural change over 2/3 even 10 generations will not significantly alter your biology. Okay... same., still just restating what i have said. > they possibly cannot have effects on your decisions about what you eat and how you spend your time right? They can and they do... let me introduce you to lead in paint and in the environment... > particularly referring to obesity caused by over eating All obesity is cause by over eating (all most by definition) the point here is that over eating is not cause by lack of will power or poor decision making
