On the contrary - unsubstantiated, silent, cowardly downvotes turn HN into Reddit. And my comment was both a joke and a serious statement. As with everything, you need to find the golden mean, and people today are overeating their way into chronic disease! We don't need as much food and as quality food as we think. In fact, fasting outweighs careful food selection as you can't go wrong with fasting, but you could and eventually would by following conflicting and ever-changing dietary guidelines. There is much wisdom in my single short sentence! But I start to think that the audience here is incapable of reading between the lines, which is sad given the HN claims for superior intelligence. In fact, the San Fran crowd is addicted to food, and based on my personal experience here; it goes postal when you dare to say something against their questionable eating habits!
