Anyone else think this thread has become a hybrid between utter twaddle and willy waving ?
How about we have neither ??

You explain the overweight crisis.How about we have neither ??
You explain the overweight crisis.
I don't need to explain it as it's so obvious. You know the answer, I know the answer and I guess almost everyone knows it. If it concerns you then either do something about it (other than talking about abstract hypothesis) or accept it as a symptom of people's diet.Then YOU explain why the majority of people in Britain are overweight.
It never used to be the case, so let's hear it.
I feel sure you have no answer.
Clearly, Peter Atkins, retired Oxford professor doesn't know what he's talking about.
He links the 2nd Law (entropy) with the start of all life and the end of all life on Earth.
He wasn't the only one. Isaac Asimov is another.
Certainly not entropy related either! Inertia might be involve though - failure to get off arses and exercise, even simply by meandering around a golf course!I think one thing we can be 100% certain about. The laws of thermodynamics haven't changed to cause people to get fat.

Go along with that.My theory is that people are overweight now due to technology.
Misuse of the word ilk.However I am firmly of the ilk that “ all things in moderation“. except in my case double bogeys.
Go along with that.
To expand on this, here is a question.
Why do we have legs?
Firstly, let's dispel the evolutionary idea that humans evolved to walk, then walked to evolve further.
That might have been the case up to the invention of the wheel.
Then humans found that legs became progressively more redundant when it came to finding food.
Why should you walk to the shops when you have a car?
Then humans employed professional dog walkers.
Now they get meals delivered straight to their front door.
Secondly, let's dispel the notion that walking helps keep the heart healthy.
Legs have even been described as the 2nd heart because walking helps the heart with the circulation.
Yet the body contains vestigial organs such as a tailbone and it's only a matter of time before the legs shrink too with new technology to help the heart.
Do you have a hobbyGo along with that.

More twaddle! That's one (and perhaps the original) description/translation of 'ilk'. And can also refer to family/clan. Now (also) generalised/evolved to 'type'!Misuse of the word ilk.

"Of that ilk" means "of the place bearing a similar name."
Go along with that.
