I thought this article on a recent paper tracking the diet and exercise habits of Canadian Amish was interesting. Kind of nice of the Amish to agree to wear a footstep-counting device for the sake of all the rest of us lazy modernists. The impressiveness of their activity-levels notwithstanding, their pre-WW-II diet, while rich and fatty, still seems healthier to me than Big Macs and fries.
