    Dining for the nobility during the Tudor period was about much more than just food. The size of a household and the quantity and variety of food provided were an important way of demonstrating wealth and influence.
    Let's explore the diet of King Henry VIII!

      He went from fit to metabolic syndrome. He was the precursor to what we see in modern day society. Fit and healthy turned into fat and diseased. Except back in those days you needed to be wealthy to kill yourself with sugar. Nowadays it is the common mans poison. Enough sugar and carbohydrates will overwhelm any system resulting in hyperinsulinemia, insulin insensitivity, obesity, hyperglycemia, and all the complications of metabolic syndrome. All of it is preventable and much of it is reversible. Oh, and one of the underappreciated facets of the resulting metabolic syndrome is the psychiatric disturbance. Courses should be taught on King Henry, but alas they keep showing him eating giant turkey legs as if that was the cause of his obesity.

    Fun fact: Many Medieval and early Renaissance nobles didn't use silverware, even though certain nobles (present company excluded) are depicted as acting (that includes eating) more refined than the common people, they still ate with their hands.

    • @augustoluis6888

      They certainly liked to appear more refined than the common people even without silverware, though, as they had a series of rules of conduct at the table and ignoring them would make you look uneducated and rude to their eyes.

    One thing I noticed you did not mention, Henry's obesity can be attributed to an injury he received from a jousting incident. When he was a young man Henry was supposedly in very good shape, described as tall, well built and handsome. However, after his injury he could not be as active as he once was and his weight ballooned as a result.

In his youth Henry burned off all those calories a whole lot more because he was an active man. But he couldn't do so with thrombosed legs, and he gained weight alarmingly.
