I have a pet theory that food ideology is/has replaced conventional religion for a lot of folks. There is a need to feel 'virtuous' in our daily lives and since we gotta eat it's a convenient place to go. So we get all these strange ideologies and dogmas which don't seem to make us much healthier physically but maybe helps fills in some accumulated spiritual decay.
