Discussion: Anthropology Short Prompt
Reflect on what you ate today and why (preference, accessibility, time constraints, cost etc). How much time did you spend exercising versus sitting and why? How do your diet and exercise patterns align with, or diverge from, the EEA? Why is it so difficult for most of us to live in ways that decrease the discordance between how we evolved to live and how we actually live today? What individual and structural barriers exist? What recommendations might you make as a medical anthropologist for decreasing these barriers?
