"We didn't evolve to be healthy,
but instead we were selected to have as
many offspring as possible
under diverse, challenging conditions.
As a
consequence, we never evolved to make rational choices about
what to eat
or how to exercise in conditions of abundance and comfort.
What's more,
interactions between the bodies we inherited,
the environments we
create, and the decisions we sometimes make
have set in motion an
insidious feedback loop:
We get sick from chronic diseases by doing what
we evolved to do
but under conditions for which our bodies are poorly
adapted,
and we then pass on those same conditions to our children,
who
also then get sick."
