I assure you european peasants were not eating pizza and cheesecake multiple times a week

Yeah, that's what the tweet said. That's why the fact that the epigenetics haven't reset yet is a big problem in some family lineages. Some entire families just have broken hunger reflexes / hormones that make the psychological aspect of dieting almost impossible.

I'm European and I did pull a few potatoes out of the ground more than once, so I guess that counts as being a peasant.

And I certainly did eat pizza not so long ago!

They were eating shitloads of butter and lard.
