Here's some food for thought that my newly-animal free brain cells are chewing on:
The ONLY animals that experience obesity are domestic humans (and our dogs and cats!).
Did you just chuckle? Sample this thought:
Can you even picture a morbidly obese monkey at the zoo with a remote control in their hand and a bag of cheetos in the other, lounging around on a couch with neon orange "cheese" crumbs resting on the top of their enlarged belly? It's ridiculous, right?
Can you picture a 46 year old human doing this? Of course!
Am I being too silly now? Picture this:
What if we gave that same monkey $20 to walk through the same zoo to look for a meal. "Food" from every single food stall to choose from.
He wouldn't buy anything! He'd go around forraging, looking for real food like vegetables, grains, seeds, nuts, and fruit. And (even though he isn't wearing pants) he probably wouldn't eat until his belt was tight either.
I am quite certain he wouldn't stop at the cow, pig or chicken exhibit, carve one up and grill part of that animal either. He'd just live and let live.
And we consider ourselves evolved?
Final monkey thought? The writer of this blog evolved from primates, and so did you!
Consider eating like one.
