== Comedy and satires ==
Although Erasmus Darwin was a physician, he was overweight. An article entitled [http://creation.com/darwinism-it-was-all-in-the-family Darwinism: it was all in the family] declares concerning Erasmus Darwin:
{{cquote|His love of food (particularly fruits, sugar, cream and butter) was matched by his dislike of exercise, and by the age of 46 he had grown so corpulent that a semi-circle had to be cut out of his dining table to accommodate his girth at meal times.<ref>[http://creation.com/darwinism-it-was-all-in-the-family Darwinism: it was all in the family]</ref>}}
