I was in my twenties before I realized that running didn’t hurt everyone and I just had perpetual shin splits that disappeared when I wore properly fitted shoes. No wonder I hated PE so much.” —u/Direct_Pen_1234 Unfortunately in today’s world, you basically have to be relatively well off like I am now to afford to eat the way our bodies were made to. The average person cannot access food like that on a regular basis without significant sacrifice in other areas. I see my patients suffering from the effects of the Standard American Diet every day. I hope that this is something that will improve in the future, but it will take a shift in both public policy and cultural values." —u/artichoke313 —u/6corsican6lily6
