On the BBC there was an episode where CRON was discussed. It showed a man who peeled an apple threw away the apple and ate the peelings. It seems bizarre but I think this will be a trend in a few years. It ticks boxes of less food waste, less bulk, high nutrition, ultra low calories. Whether it works or not who knows since many diets tend to be for status not health; veganism with its absence of B12, Atkins with its high fat, Paleo based on inaccurate pre-history.
- avmich 6y agoA lot of people use diets for health, not for status. E.g. vegans often supplement B12 externally.
- dghughes 6y agoBut that's the issue vegans can't live without artificially supplementing with B12. To me that shows the vegan diet is not valid or survivable. If you were on a desert island or stuck in a remote location and were vegan you'd be dead after a few years from B12 deficiency.

- baxtr 6y agoHow do you reconcile “He threw the apple away” and “Less food waste”?
- dghughes 6y agoNot just that apple but overall the fewer calories of CRON means less food consumed.
- lldbg 6y agoFor a billion people, calories is the most important nutrition
- dghughes 6y agoI think that's the point of the "ON" part in CRON, optimal nutrition. Eat enough calories to survive but be healthy by getting optimal nutrition.
