We've Changed But Our Processes Haven't

Not so long ago our for bearers spent a lot more time and effort into acquiring their food. They hunted it, killed it (hopefully), cut it up and then somehow preserved it. Can you imagine life without a fridge? I leave things in there for years. Just kidding. So much effort would be placed into finding food, preparing food, and preserving it somehow that hundreds of calories would be used in the process.
To clarify, our food is just to easy to get. A lot of it is already processed. Throw it in the microwave and presto. The whole equation is changed. Intake - metabolized - turned into more you (fat). I am amazed at what you can find in the store these days. The isles are full of stuff. What is good for you and what isn't?
Sure there's labels on the food, but are they really that affective. I say no- because I can still get Twinkies.
Some of the foods are processed to a point that even are bodies don't have to work as hard to digest them. Flour is a good example of this. Can yo imagine chewing wheat and then letting your stomach have a go at it. First you would have to use a stone just to grind it so that yo could eat it everyday.
The system is stacked against us. More available food, less effort into processing eat, less time it takes for the body to digest it. You know how you can gorge yourself and Chinese food and feel hunger two hours later. Well , the faster food goes thru you the more yo want to eat.
How often do you think our ancestors came across a field of sugar cane? No to often would be my guess. The processed sugar that goes into one soda pop is probably more that they would see in a lifetime.
That is why diets are a way of circular thinking. the choices that a person makes and the food they eat determines whether you gain wait or not. It is simple- you have to burn as many calories as you take in to maintain your existing weight.
That is why it is important to make the right choices to life a healthy lifestyle.
