Sorry, very busy, so I didn't read the article, but my wife and I were discussing this concept the other day - how as humans, we don't have as many impediments to our survival as we used to, which leads a lot of us to getting fatter than we'd like to be. It's a good strategy (IMO) to artificially challenge ourselves, to compensate. She uses a fitbit for that; I use Ingress (a game that rewards walking), and a dog that needs regular exercise.
