I think much the same process has happened to humans in this century. With the invention of the roller mill and the consequent degradation of our daily bread to white flour; with the birth of industrial farming and the generalized lowering of the nutritional content of all of our crops; our overall ratio of nutrition to calories worsened.
Without revving up your engine every day many of the body's systems never get the sludge burned out of them and never perform optimally. Exercise also changes the metabolic rate so your body burns more calories not only while you are exercising, but also for a 24 hour period following exercise. This maintains a healthful body weight into old age, or helps to lose weight.
I want to eat what I like, and as much as I like, whether it's six calories or six thousand!" Billy chuckled, but she raised her hands in pretended shocked protest. "Six thousand! Mercy! Bertram, I don't know what would happen if you ate that quantity; but I'm sure you couldn't paint. You'd just have to saw wood and dig ditches to use up all that vital energy." "Humph!" scoffed Bertram.
We doctors must never forget the fact that the soul rules the body. Soul forces are the most important. The spirit builds the body. Strength springs from joy. The autonomous nervous system achieves, under the influence of joy, the expansion of the blood vessels in skin and muscle....

But these big fellows were seemingly quite respectful; except when I started to enter the Free Speech Hall, they had humbly made way for me. Emboldened by their deference I now approached a man whom I had seen come out of a "3800 Calories" gate, and who had crossed the street and stood there picking his teeth with his finger nail.
"If you only eat when it's convenient, or the mood takes you," Nancy cried out in real distress, "how can you ever be sure that you have calories enough? The requirement of an average man at active labor is estimated at over three thousand calories. You must have something like a balanced ration in order to do your work." "Must I?" Collier Pratt smiled his rare smile.
The workman, hesitating a little, then followed at my side. "But tell me," I said, "about these calories. What did you do to get the big meals? Why do some get more to eat than others?" "Better man," he replied without hesitation. "But what makes a better man?" "You don't know; of course, you are an intellectual and don't work. But we work hard. The harder we work the more we eat.
