I was just reading about this report/prediction, makes me sick to my stomach! A few days ago when all the hoopla was going on about WW3/people freaking out about the draft being reenacted, the thing that kept going through my mind was that so many of our draft eligible citizens are so darn overweight/unhealthy now, we'd be sunk if we actually needed to start using this system again
We were at a friend's birthday party a few days ago and in a room full of adults mid-age up to late 60s, there were 3 of us who were not overweight. Me, who is low carb/carnivore, and then two of my friends who I know are into hard-core fitness, (their in-home gym is a thing of beauty, lol). Everyone else ranged from the slightly overweight to very overweight categories.
I did strike up a conversation with an older lady who I hadn't seen in years, and diet/weight came up after she complimented me, (she knew me back when I was around 60lbs heavier). That led to a long conversation that I know others were listening in on, where I shared some of my story and how I eat now, along with recent blood work I had done while eating an animal based diet. She was getting ready to start South Beach and was excited to get started, I really hope she can stick with it since she seemed really interested in a lower carb lifestyle!
