SEE THIS IS WHY I PRETEND IT’S 2005 NOTHING BAD HAPPENS IN 2005

Submission: boy calling out for help.

This. This is what society does to people. This isn’t calling out just for attention, this is the reflection of how cruel people can be to one another. Life is the most precious thing we have, no matter how bad or fucked up it is. Making someone feel like they’re worthless and don’t belong, and making them contemplate suicide is the cruelest thing one can do. We’re human. We’re supposed to be looking out for each other.

Dear Doctor Who fans,

Captain Jack is the Face of Boe.

Captain Jack cannot die.

Captain Jack was once a Time Agent, or pretends to be one.

Captain Jack wears a vortex manipulator.

Dorium Maldovar sold River a vortex manipulator “fresh off the wrist of a handsome Time Agent.”

Dorium Maldovar works with the Headless Monks from time to time.

The Headless Monks decapitate people.

The Face of Boe is a head with no body.

^this gif perfectly represents my feelings…

Yes please.

would love to try this

Hey, yo, hold up, before you go running off to try this…

1) It is not reasonable to assume that because people who lived thousands of years ago ate one way, we, in our radically different modern lifestyles, should eat the same way.

2) Not everyone ate the same things thousands of years ago.

3) In many ways, our diet has improved since then.

Pretty sure that they only lived to be roughly 30 years old, too, depending on how far back in the timescale you want to go.

I also know there are still plenty of tall, in-shape, etc humans now…????  & those that aren’t are in their condition because of unrelated health issues, lifestyle habits, etc…not entirely the diet.  (Sorry but even if you eat “paleo”, an office job is an office job and you will sit just as long and not get muscle and not get your heart fit etc.  THAT comes from being active.)  After all, way back then, humans had to do more to get less food.  You had to hunt for it or gather it and you weren’t always successful.

A far cry from the effort needed to go to the grocery store and pick up food.  That “big game” that some of those northern “cavemen” would be eating would require the stamina to prey on the animal and then the ability to chase it down & kill it.

A lot of the items on the shopping list were domesticated by humans, too.  In face, squash was domesticated in the Oaxaca valley some 10,000 years ago.   (Another source is here.) Similar plant domestication (gasp agriculture) began around the world, though the plants varied by location.  The plants they began to domesticate include those grains.  You can read a brief history here.  Any domesticated farm animals (pigs, cows, chickens, etc) also came to be around this time, and were not necessarily a staple in the diet at all, especially in the paleolithic time.  In fact, it’s been heavily suggested that our more recent ancestors were primarily vegetarian, with meat being far less of a staple than most people believe.

Here, read this.  There is a portion mentioning that VERY early hominids may have diets similar to wolves…but their bodies would have adapted FOR that specifically.  Ours are not geared to that diet, and have not been for a long time.

Now, I am not a geneticist at all, but I am fairly certain that changing your diet isn’t going to trigger some miracle effect with your DNA and make you lose weight and get all lean and muscle-y.  That isn’t how nutrition or fitness works, period.  Look at the lifestyle of the !Kung San peoples (or those similar to them) over in the Kalahari Desert.  Or, look at the Inuit peoples, or any other indigenous peoples.  The point of how diet, climate, lifestyle, etc and how they intersect is illustrated with them.

———-

Wow ok so that first portion is a sorta jumbled mish-mash, sorry!  But the bottom line is that this “diet” is inaccurate in name and in description.  It’s all over the place, taking from different portions of human evolutionary/anthropological history.  & it ignores a world-wide view of health and history related to health, etc.

———-

The reason the “paleo diet” seems to work is that it’s high-protein/nutrient and low-cal.  Instead of calorie-dense and nutrient-void foods (french fries, cake, etc), the shopping list is chock-full of nutrient-rich and low-calorie foods.  Many of the people making the switch are coming over from diets or eating habits where this isnt the case—and the way to lose weight is less calories taken in than are burned.  

I am more liable to believe that the unhealthiness in the USA is related more to access to food ($$$$$/quality and physical location), lifestyle and work habits, personal hobbies, modes of transportation, other illness/disease, than it is related to the rise of agriculture and whatever else the above image implies.  

———-

I guess my super-bottom line is that this is just another fad diet that may have SOME basis in fact but is something I would approach with caution and a critical eye.

& like every “diet”, I strongly suggest talking to your doctor and researching how this change will affect you, because if you have some other dietary need, this may not be a good idea at all.

Like really……yes please…..I need to make out with someone……it’s a problem.

This is the official ‘i care’ symbol. This is how it works:

Basically you reblog this, and your followers know that you care and that they can message you about anything anon or not and you will reply back or at least look at their message.
