As this photo shows, this, with our high carbohydrate, sugar saturated diet, is most likely where we are heading.
Then again, since famine has always been a threat to all societies until recently, and may very well again be someday. I suppose this is not a completely bad thing. We enjoy the luxuries of over abundance. What we need is a little more balance though.
And pork is delicious.

It’s times like this that make me wish alpha males wore less condoms.

I’ve not had time to come up with numbers for a thorough research project, but I would guess that a lot of the obesity and diabetes started in the 70’s with the low fat diet nonsense. This also included as carbs good, red meat bad. I think Mark Sisson and other paleos are on the correct path.
I’ve read the Atkins books years ago and agree with many of his points. Many diseases in the Western world are because of refined sugar and flour.

Gael,
Yes, even alpha males should wear condoms, no matter what. Unwanted children are never a good idea.
Sth,
True, refined sugar and flower are definitely the cause of so many of our health woes today.

True, but I do wish they would sire more children into this world. This world is in need of more strong, tall, rugged men.
