This urge to eat everything will also pass. But if you give in this time, don't beat yourself up. You are only human.

we actually grow shorter and smaller in general, and we live longer because as science and technology advance we know figure out what's good and what's bad for our bodies. People used to use LEAD to whiten their complexions, for example...!!

jenisdog_crazy, c'mon, don't you think life evolves at some level? even if we've only been around for 3 thousand years, our bodies have changed drastically during that time. we live longer, and grow taller than our ancestors.

Come on fitness! We are not all evolutionists, and there is no reason to infuse your beliefs (or non beliefs) into an article like this! It is uncalled for, and offensive to myself, as well as many other readers.
