The whole question is determining what "normal" (and thus "extreme") actually is, so statements like "extrema are not good for your health" are just plain silly

The whole question is determining what "normal" (and thus "extreme") actually is, so statements like "extrema are not good for your health" are just plain silly in this context.
In fact, it's even sillier than that since extreme bursts of energy (which most of us call exercise) are demonstrably very good for your health.
If by "extrema" you meant "excessive things", then your point is tautological.
- ioquatix 11y agoWell, I do believe there is such a thing as a "well balanced diet" which includes food from all groups.
- gayprogrammer 11y agoThe context of balance is the very thing being studied. How are the food groups defined? Why isn't ethanol included as a food group? Do you consider fiber in its own group? Taking "balanced" portions from a set of groups makes the context in which the groups are defined very important.
- omginternets 11y agoThat's nice, but you've said basically nothing. What are the food groups? What's the right proportion? Does it vary with age/ethnicity/nurture? These are precisely the questions being examined, so telling people to eat a balanced diet without telling them what that actually is, doesn't help.
