      Same thought i had. A lot of men nowadays eat almost no fibre, which is very important in preventing colon cancer.

        That’s why I also drink Metamucil twice a day. Stuff is fantastic for keeping everything moving. And I eat my fruits and veggies, but nothing wrong with a little supplementation.

          Totally! And whether you eat a lot of plant fibre, you may not get enough soluble fibre, which metamucil gives you.

        Naa, humans consume a lot more fiber than in the past. Salted meat was basically one of the main things we were able to store for long periods of time. The one thing that has changed? Overeating and sedentary lifestyle.

          I get that i said nowadays but the comparison is irrelevant because whether they’re consuming more or less than in the past, it’s still not enough. Also a lot has changed, including capitalism taking away our time, thereby forcing a lot of people into convenient, cheap options.
