They stayed thin and fit despite weekly blood tests to catch out cheating.

Evolution does not work so quickly that whole populations (Inuit, Masai) shift over to radically different metabolisms in a few hundred or thousand years. To a large extent, what they can do, we can do.
Well, dang me and hang me! I didn't know this was a damn test!

Some people are sooooooooooooo picky!
