Idk if someone can confirm this or not, but I feel like our precolonial etipome of beauty would be a fat body. Like muscles are cool to do stuff but the status you must have to not do stuff and still be abundant with food?! Like damn that's sinexy.

If we had a ruling monarchy that could exploit the resources of the land and people, for SURE people would have gotten debu! Thats what happened in China back in the day, and wherever there is a monarchy that exploits resources. Fat faces and bodies were celebrated definitely.

But your thoughts on beauty are the same ones I have. What was our definition of beauty back then, trying to look past my colonized thoughts on beauty? It's fascinating to think about!

An active lifestyle definitely supported the diet due to the natural carbohydrates being converted into energy immediately. I really love looking into the Antigu diet. So many fascinating ways to access the vitamins and minerals required to sustain the human body, love nutrition

Badass! There's a few resources to look into antigu diets and how they lived in the past, though I'm sure the MARC has many more. Here's a cool study I found a while back on betelnut and chewing I found fascinating!pic.twitter.com/xP24xxnSX8

That's true! Even though we had a hierarchy with different social classes, each person regardless of whether they were Matao or Manachang still had to contribute to the clan as a whole.

Forreal. And then to add to it, even manåmko commonly cared for the famagu'on of the clan, so even they were not fully sedentary. I am 100% sure some of those kids were fotte
and made them chase em around. - Show replies
