Fast food is still food, tasty, safe and nutritious - albeit with a macronutrient profile that is unsuitable for modern life styles when eaten in quantity. Fast food is not the problem, lack of awareness of how to use food is the problem.
Unlike food (or fast food) most supplements are not fulfilling any biologically useful function when consumed by otherwise healthy people - unless we consider placebo effects as biologically useful. They are unnecessary for the functioning of the human body, unregulated, untested and driven by often unscientific claims that don't have to be proven clinically.
When the majority or large portion of the sales are related to deceptive marketing of useless products, it's fair to say a market is a "racket" as a way to alarm the public, notwithstanding the many honest producers and effective products.
- ci5er 9y agoThis sounds interesting. Can you break down your embedded assumptions, claims and conclusions in bullet-form? No matter how many times I re-read this, I am not able to follow it front-to-back. EDIT: I love this line -- "lack of awareness of how to use food is the problem."
