Although humans a relative wusses in the Animal Kingdom (in terms of
physical accomplishments), I think I read that one thing we used to
excel, better than a lot of animals, is covering great distances at a
steady pace. Or did I completely grab the wrong end of that stick?
Something or other to do with being bipeds.

Of course processed food has put an end to that particular
accomplishment for most of the western world.

That was a troll attempt? Guys say this all the time about
skinny women. See the thread about John Edwards.
