Letter from Jess Meyers

Nope, simply observation over time, knowing from labor statistics the
kinds of jobs we have now compared to 30 or 40 years ago. We have fewer
farm, manufacturing, heavy labor, etc., jobs and more desk jobs, service
jobs, etc. Also, I've yet to see any evidence that humans have evolved
genetically in a dramatic way in such a short period of time.

My observations over time...


1. IF YOU EAT MORE THAN YOU BURN....

YOU WEAR IT.


2. Exercise is great for cardiovascular improvement,
but one can easily eat more than can be exercised away.


3. My doctor sez....

Put whatever you desire on your plate,
then slide half of it off and you will lose weight.

My doctor said that whatever part of the body gets used the most gets the
biggest. If you sit at a computer all day, your butt gets big.

40 years ago the captain of my ship hit on a solution to the expanding
waistlines of some of the crew.

He ordered the hatches to the mess decks dogged and locked leaving only the
18" diameter scuttle holes. If you could skinny through the holes, you
could eat. If not, you could report to the ships doctor for a special diet
and exercise. Of course, you could also starve.

One of my Chief Petty Officers was heard to say after consulting a chart of
height vs. desired weight, "I am NOT too heavy, I'm just 6 inches too
short - it's height discrimination."

Unfortunately, if that was done today, the Captain would be brought up
on charges. :-(

You forgot one Unka Bob ..."all you eat goes to your stomach" along with,

Yes, it really is a pretty simple energy/mass balance problem at the core.


2. Exercise is great for cardiovascular improvement,
but one can easily eat more than can be exercised away.

True, but exercise also increases muscle mass and muscle consumes more
calories even after the exercise is over so you gain beyond just what
you burn during the exercise period.


3. My doctor sez....

Yep, that is roughly my approach. I haven't dramatically changed my
diet insofar as composition is concerned (I don't believe in low-fat,
low-carb, or any other fad diet), but am trying to reduce portion sizes
(not by 50% though) and cut back on the junk food. I still simply must
have my evening dish of ice cream though!

Barnyard BOb -

Bob (a long time time contributor), thank you. Rich S. is right, this
one is a keeper. I like to add that before, we didn't have so many
additives in our food. My grandfather lived to be 104 years old, and
was mobile up to his last days. He has been smoking since he was
fourteen. He grew his own tobacco, rice and vegetables...etc. He
raised his own cows, buffaloes, hogs, chickens...etc. He caught his
own fish and trapped his own wild game. In short he didn't consume
too much chemical. His food and his tobacco didn't have additives. I
believe, that contributed to his good health and longevity.

He demonstrated to me one time when I was very little (maybe five),
that if you light a store bought cigarette and put in down on the
ashtray, it will keep on burning until it burns itself out. He showed
me that hia cigar would burn itself out if left un-puffed or
unattended. He said this was due to additives that cigarette
manufacturer's put into cigarettes to make them keep burning so that
one has to start another cigarette thereby consume more of there
cigarette.
