You are what you eat

I've been reading lately about the changes in food that we have seen in the last 40 years. Fast food has really gotten into our lives. The sugary and fatty drinks and food have taken their toll on our cholesterol levels.

I often think of what early man ate. It sure wasn't fast food in today's sense. At that time our digestive systems were created. Our systems are used to eating more natural foods. I bet early man had no problem with cholesterol.

Also early man got a lot of exercise running after game and running from carnivores and large angry herbivores.

It all comes down to - we are what we eat. If we live off of fast food and junk food and sit before a TV set for hours on end - well we have all the requirements for high cholesterol and obesity.
