Despite all the negative reports we pick up in the news, we actually live in times that are fantastic. Society has never ever had many marvelous inventions and technologies that make the lives of ours much easier compared to the strenuous lives almost all of our ancestors had to endure. One of the great benefits from each one of these technologies and inventions is a ready abundance of food. From food which is fast to gourmet food, most of us have much more than required. And we love eating but there is price to pay - excessive weight gain.
