Following potential 2014 draftees

What if they only eat veggies with whole bread and no unhealthy sauce?

Then they turn into the men that rule the NFL.

I don't buy it AT ALL. Well, other than to say they could eat better and thereby maybe control the gain more so than eating badly.

But nutrition is clearly not the only (or, imo, even the biggest) factor in an entire people being obese. Genetics are a key issue, I am certain, regardless of what history does or doesn't tell us. And, btw, and I am sincerely curious, how does anthropology tell us how fat people were in the past? Do we have hundreds of year old clothing? Obvi no selfies back then... Cave paintings?? "Ugh, I draw you now.. I better not draw you fat doe cuz you'll hit me in head with mace."

One of your worst posts ever.
You are aware that European travelers have been visiting and writing about the Polynesian islands since the 18th century, right? So, like, they saw them with the eyes in their heads, and made very detailed accounts of their appearance, among other things.

Here's a mind-exploding example for you all:

I'm allergic to gluten, and many of the people who are also descendants from the same peoples have the same problem. Here's the thing, though: if glutenous foods are prepared in the ways that grains have been traditionally prepared (i.e. through some form of fermentation), then they're fine. This allergic response is due to a lack of exposure to our bodies over time. You can find genetic markers for this, but genes don't explain the reaction.

How do you expect Polynesian bodies to respond to a host of foods to which they've had very little collective exposure?

I just had to go back and laugh my ****ing *** off over this. Just wow.

Hey guys,
Lets go visit a society that's been collapsed by the history of colonialism and make dumbheaded comments about the health of the population. The best examples will be something like, "Why are those people so eternally fat?!?," "Why don't they get score high on our IQ tests? I mean, they're totally unbiased," and the "entire people being obese."

Naos, i can see that this a very important issue for you.
Im sorry for voicing the opinion that there is a possibility that jabari could struggle with his weight due to his heritage.

I take it all back.

If jabari eats the same diet as wiggins then he will be the same weight.

EAT WELL JABARI!
We at jazzfanz believe in you!

I would trade Trey Burke + #23 for Marcus Smart if Smart is there around 7 or 8.

It's not an important issue. It just hurts the brain to see a chorus of stupidity. And once PKM starts preaching, then, as per usual, the whole board will start a slow clap.

Being a smartass is no replacement for actually answering questions. Would u like them bulleted?

- how does anthropology teach us about pre-history peoples? (And if you were talking about like 18th/19th century, then I misunderstood your comments altogether).

- how is a reasonable hypothesis that an ENTIRE race is simply eating poorly?
