A well written article on the role of environment, architecture and work in shaping people's bodies. Nothing new here, but nicely put. However, the following assertion is overstated:
In forgetting to think about how our environment shapes us, it becomes easy to think that our food is made for us. The difficult truth is that, increasingly, capitalism makes us for our food.
No, capitalism does not 'make us for our food'. But it would be very fair to say that our food is not made for us, it is made for our lifestyles (and those are to a large degree made by capitalism).
