sounds like the Egyptians knew how to eat, but I suppose back then everyone was working or moving so they probably didn't gain much fat.

Yea, but I think that the food wasn't so unhealthy that it actually made them fat. _________________ The beginning of knowledge is the discovery of something we do not understand. - Frank Herbert Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind. - Albert Einstein Knowledge is a powerful weapon, but only when its user can wield it.

Back then people probably didn't care about what they were eating. I don't think that the healthy eating craze has made much of an effect on today's world either.

Indeed, they ate what was rare and expensive, this being animals.
Vegetables where for the poor.

True But as already said. Highly doubted the priests were very active, that, and there always remains some fat

No in Egypt and Greece and Rome they took baths regularly.
It was after that that the ppl started to be less...civilised.

Superstitious and stuff. Probably also due to religious fervour of the Christian church

well, taking baths and hygene in general was not so common in germanic and celtic culture. actually it was seen as quite a luxury in roman times, built by and for the rich.
"barbarians" had a different perception of rich, with less fine fabric, rosepetals and spring water.
also a lot of bathhouses got destroyed and people no longer saw the nessesarity of hygiene.

Ah, and it never changed throughout the darkages.
Interesting but sad.
