What do we eat?

Based on the article by Cordain and colleagues, along with the videos you have viewed this module, respond to the following:

Q1. Explain how we have come to be a nation that is both undernourished and over- fed.
Why is this Western way of eating, also known as the Standard American Diet (SAD), so dramatically different from the diet our ancestors ate?
Cordain et al. also suggest the evolution of our diet is responsible for diseases of civilization. Do you think that lifestyle is responsible for these diseases? Why or why not?

Q2. Reflecting on your own eating patterns and behaviors over time, share the types of foods you ate as a child, what mealtime was like growing up, and if food was associated with other things such as family, social events, culture, etc.

Have your behaviors/beliefs around food/nutrition changed over time? How so?
