In the time of the ice age, there probably wasn’t much in the way of green veggies to be found. Maybe this is why things had such a hard time surviving back then. I mean what did they have to eat other than snow and other animals. Diet probably did a lot to change the things that made it through and for those that didn’t make it out of this hard era. Those that did make it had a big advantage when the ice retreated and things started to grow and develop again.
If we look at our person hard time, our ice age in a way, you know if we are trying to lose weight it seems there is little to eat. But today there are lots of green veggies and so the ice age weight loss era is a little more nutritionally balanced than the poor mammoths had it. Think of this period of loosing weight as a mini ice age in a way and that when we survive it, we will be much stronger and in a better position to compete with the rest of the wooly guys out there, whatever that means. But remember it is worth it, and it isn’t forever and soon the sun will come out and life will be different. A lot different and we’ll be smiling.
