Post-War Trauma on the Plate π₯© βπ₯© βπ₯©β
A recent article refers to an interesting study.
In short:
- Eating habits across generations are determined by war experiences.
- Lifelong compensation of deficiency with far-reaching consequences.
- Obesity and even cancer as an indirect long-term consequence.
- In times of shortage girls apparently received less meat than boys.
- Research helps to understand the behaviour of the war generation even in later years.
"Children growing up during war try for the rest of their lives to compensate for the lack of meat they suffered and often overcompensate."
