Of course they were/are still in shape, you can't compare how we live with how they do, I guarantee you give them money and easy access to the crap we do, most will def put on some pounds, I've seen it first hand...

They made their own liquor back then so people being drunk isnt a new thing. Most these drunk bums in the hood probbaly had a drunk bum ancestor in africa

I think that's just how you naturally looking being fairly active everyday.
Real shyt, I end up walking about an hour and a half or so everyday with a 25lb book bag, plus trips to the gym a few times a week and whatever team sport is popping on campus at the time and my body looks like the dudes in the first pic.
Same for my siblings

Carry a 25 lb book bag in 2017 brehs

I don't know anyone who eats steak everyday

No, but lots of people eat ground beef (hamburgers, tacos etc) everyday. So it is the same crap, except that steaks would probably actually be better for them than ground beef.

Modern foods are complete garbage.

I remember reading some diary written by I believe a Dutch guy who was on the Windward coast in the early 1800s and he pretty much talked about drunkeness was common because of Palm wine, and he had great respect for the Muslims tribes (he called them Muhammadans but he was probably talking about the Mandingo and Vai tribes) because how discipline they were and they didnt consume alcohol and were about business.

We all know what healthy is and what's not, but we've become adjusted to the easy grab n go lifestyle, bullshyt foods etc.. add to that busy lives, on top of stress and such, and you got a recipe for nothing good...


Don't live to eat, eat to live.

Interesting account.

My ancestors drank palm wine and were happy, productive people. I will carry on drinking alcohol, in moderation.
