Human’s have moved very quickly from being low-level primates trying to find every morsel of food they could, to the dominate species able to summon as many calories as desired by pressing a few buttons.
This change has happened so quickly many scientists agree that we still possess a “gorging gene” that drives us to take in as many calories as possible to protect against starvation.
However, when food is so easily accessible this can lead to over-consumption. But when is enough too much? When does weight actually impact health, and how can we have constructive conversations around weight and health?
