Flexocrats: The Donut Is Not The Problem, It's Us
It's all very well to say we have to live in the same food-abundant and exercise-deficient environment no matter what happens in Westernised economies, but I don't want you messing with my insides! Having distrusted aspartame and Xenical for their "interference" with bodily "expectations" of nutrition and thus metabolism, I don't want to see scientists invent something that will artificially speed up my metabolism and do untold harm to another aspect of it! What if they discovered something that worked fine for about five years and then started to turn your liver cells into cancer because their functions had been subverted?
I still say we have to establish old-fashioned habits in childhood and make the environment fit the human body, not the other way round. Farmers could even get better prices for their produce if it wasn't put through all the artificial processes we impose on food so we can put it in plastic and make it last forever!
