For this semester I have been reading the book “Too Much of A Good Thing” by Lee Goldman. Lee Goldman is a doctor that studies why we people as a species have been getting so sick. Lee Goldman has noticed that the rate of obesity, diabetes, and other issues has risen during recent times. In the book he explains how the traits that helped our ancestors survive, and become so successful are now making us sick. For example, more people are becoming obese because our ancestors would eat a lot when they had food so that when there wasn’t food they wouldn't die. In the book it says that it is very easy to gain weight. That if we eat just 10 calories more than what we need every day for a year we are going to gain a pound of fat by the end of that
