- Is the Desire to Have Normal Weight Simply Vanity?
- By: STEVEN BAKER
Unlike common belief the desire to have normal weight is not is not because of the movie and music industries. It dates way back - to the times when civilization didn't exist and when the law of "survival of the fittest" was the only law there was.Being fit means many things and one of these things is being the right weight. Tens of thousands of years ago if you were not the right weight, you couldn't escape from danger - you got eaten or stuck in a forest fire. Being attracted to people with regular weight is embedded in our minds ever since the beginning of mankind. The movie industry didn't create this phenomenon, it simply exploits it. Just like the food industry exploits our natural sweet tooth.
Maintaining healthy bodyweight is very hard. There is a lot of cheap food that we can get access to without even leaving our home. Waiting forty minutes for the pizza delivery guy to arrive is nothing. People used to wait months for a certain animal to migrate so that they could finally fill their stomachs. It's a good thing that most of us never have to go hungry, don't get me wrong. But there is no reason for somebody to eat food that has almost no valuable nutrients and that will clog your blood vessels. Getting used to eating right may be awkward at first and you shouldn't completely give up junk food. If you don't want to decrease your food intake, you should increase your physical activities instead.
