Mean nature of nature

Human body, such a wonderful construction.

Our eyes are built to see any prey or danger in the distance and cope well with different weather conditions.

Muscles in our backs, legs and circulation system are well designed for a life of wandering around in pursuit and production of food.

There's never enough of food, so when we manage to eat we store fat and our stomachs are well used to not being full regularly.

Our joints can carry the weight of our erect bodies for hours and allow us to be swift, sneaky predators.

Nimble fingers delight in a variety of everyday activities, weaving, making, cooking, gathering, carrying, never a repetitive strain on them.

Human bodies, such wonderful constructions. Just not for a looking-mostly-at screens, sitting-nine-hours-a-day, typing-furiously-continuously twenty first century humans with fridges full of food.

Oh, we are so screwed...
