Being natural and having an educated eating behavior are a way to avoid obesity. Thus, I've got accustomed to eat like a wild animal! Have we ever seen an animal obese in the wilderness where they live ecologically?
Without taking a position of sub-estimation on other cultures, what we call ethnocentrism, humans should interact with different cultures out of their own from an ethnographic point of view.
Ethnography is the branch of anthropology which studies particular cultures, what includes, indeed, the social behavior of people living under any of these particular cultures. And social behavior, as a whole, implies nutritional behavior.
As for me, I compare myself to animals_ having similar morphological features such as eyes and skeletal structure_ and to plants with which we share a common habitat from a nutritional and developmental point of view.
Why do I establish such a comparison? I do so because I've never seen such common animals and plants getting overweight while they normally develop through an ecological way; however, we do see animals altering their natural orderly development and getting overweight when they are overfed or fed through growing hormones by humans and plants developing fast when they are purposely kept under fertilization. Consequently, under a natural selection point of view, these animals and plants are less resistant to their environment than those that are fed ecologically by themselves through their own way.
Such a thing occurs in humans when they are overweight. They are less fit and less resistant to the environment. What happens, for example, if an obese person is trapped inside a house or a car in fire and he has to escape through a window too narrow for him because of his obesity? What happens if an aggressive dog or bull runs after him and he has to run fast enough and jump over a fence to escape from the animal? What happens if a lunatic person runs after him with a knife? What would happen if ultimately he has to climb quickly on a tree to be safe from an approaching tsunami?
In addition to this common possible situation that a non overweight person might face better, he should be as natural as possible when getting fed to live better and longer; i.e. he has to have a natural and ecological diet. Let's think about how a baby is fed from birth. S/he is fed with nutrients coming through the mother's breast. Look at the baby! In a few months, s/he has grown up fast, having a weight in concordance with his or her time and stature. Yet, sometimes, the baby becomes overweight when s/he is fed unnecessarily with additional food.
In nature, to develop, a green plant takes its energy using sun light and rains, along with the nutrients it takes from the soil through its roots. And that's it! Have you ever seen tree populations in vast forest in America, Africa, and Australia? Oh, wood, wood coming from trees, how we need you for our lives! Every single house in America has needed wood for its building! How great is divine nature that holds trees only fed with the power of the sun that brings also rains. Rains that also pour plants used to feed humans and keep our rivers and lakes plenty of water, our fishes' habitat. Oh, our sun whose power maintains rain circle, making our rivers flow to our seas, training nutrients and mineral molecules of iodine, potassium, magnesium, cooper, phosphorus, etc., feeding and fertilizing ecologically marine microorganisms and plants, food of sea habitat. And all this process occurs through a natural and ecological way.
Therefore, to avoid obesity, humans should meet their food needs ecologically, i.e. eating in an elegant way; what would help to keep a healthy body and a dynamic attitude. What means an elegant way to eat? Eating in an educated and healthy way; i.e. eating small balanced portions of food which include proteins, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates.
If you happen to eat in group, do so while you talk with those who share the same table with you and try not to be the first in finishing; otherwise, you are obliging the others to stop eating. Of course, while eating, you should talk when your mouth is empty. And don't neglect to use a napkin to clean your mouth before talking, even if you are eating along with your partner or with your children. Moreover, eating elegantly might help you fight and avoid either anxiety or bulimia nervosa. And, furthermore, you would enjoy your meal better and nicely. Inevitably, it happens that most people devour in minutes a meal that has been cooked in hours! And concluding, what may help you be elegant when you are eating in public and enjoy your meal better, is dramaturgy and impression management, because devouring your meal fast is seen as something awful, tasteless and unmannerly, but ultimately, unhealthy, too.
And remember to have an ecological eating behavior to be healthier and live longer.
