I don’t think so!   Forty years ago, we still relied on our body’smechanism to control our weight as we had done for centuries.   Anobesity Epidemic would have been a ridiculous notion.   We knew by instinct what was good and whatwas bad for us to eat.   The percentage ofoverweight people was very small and obesity was almost unheard of.   When present, it was usually a medicalcondition not a food problem. Unlike now, there was no need to seek a way to get permanent weight loss , wealready had that and we took it for granted.   Today, sixty percent of our population is overweight,and the numbers are growing daily.   Manyof these people are, or will go on to become obese.   Yet, never before, were there so many expertsor products available to assist us to lose weight and to ‘get healthy’.   The diet industry is one of the biggest mostlucrative industries on the planet and the most amazing thing about that?   The fact they virtually didn’t exist untilforty years ago.   What is the second most amazing thing?   Not one of the diets so aggressively promotedfor the past thirty to forty years, have had to undergo scientificscrutiny.   No genuine data has beenpublished and no trials have been conducted with human participants. Not for asingle diet.   Like me, you might now realize that the growth of thediet industry originates at the same time and has kept well in step with thegrowth of the human body.   A coincidence?   I don’t think so!   Human beings were not designed to be overweight, norwere they designed to diet.   Nature hadits own way to deal with the food we used to eat.   But like so often, we had to go one betterthan nature.   The price we have paid isto lose touch with our time worn instincts and our body’s ability to deal withthe food we eat.   We have simplyforgotten the rules about how and what to eat.   What is worse, we have caused damage to our body.   It is not too late to reverse that damage butwe need to act now!
