Phentermine because we raise so much food

It's a wonderful irony that people in the developed countries -- and even some people in the developing nations -- have conquered the supply of food so much that we have the exact opposite problem of our ancestors. They faced uncertain and fluctuating food supplies, feast or famine. So their bodies evolved the craving to gorge on whatever food there was available when it was available. They might get overweight during the summer months, but by spring they'd have lost the excess pounds, if they were still alive. Now we need appetite suppressants such as phentermine so we don't overindulge 12 months a year.
