Capitalism fun story:
In order to counter skyrocketing calorie levels and the lack of fiber in ordinary cheaply produced food, and following hysterical trends like being afraid of fats or carbs or gluten, companies are busy inventing new food that doesn't have any nutritional value.
Although this is basically just garbage manufactured into pseudo-food, with some clever marketing it's bound to be a hit on the market, and people who have no clue what they're doing will probably ruin their health in new interesting ways.
At the same time, billions of people in the global lower class don't have access to even barely decent food.
If this sounds insane to you, that's because it is in fact completely insane.

- dao- 11y agoBecause it has happened before, e.g. http://www.today.com/health/breaking-vegan-author-jordan-younger-confesses-dirty-secrets-clean-eating-t55086 http://www.today.com/health/breaking-vegan-author-jordan-you... People jump into new lifestyle trends as if it were their new religion, failing to balance their diet reasonably.
