Because anybody with sense prefers eating food to popping pills.
- krastanov 5y agoCome on, this is a bit too aggressive of a statement. On the other hand, there is some anecdotal evidence that nutrients in pills are not absorbed by our gut as well as more "naturally" delivered nutrients.
- slipframe 5y ago"Why do we need to drink water anyway? Why can't we all get our fluids from an IV?"
- zepto 5y agoWhy stop there? If you are getting fluids via IV, may as well add in nutrients.
- bbarnett 5y agoThis sounds grand, but I Googled, and couldn't find a provider/source, where do you buy?
- kortex 5y agoI'm down. Add a glucostat for optimal blood sugar level too. Just get a waterproof Ergodox, wrap around 8k monitor, and a sensory dep tank (with optional high-tech minimal techno piped in). I call it The Precog. It'll be a hit in SV.
- dghughes 5y agoI wouldnt say anecdotal nutrient bioavailavilty is quite well-known and studied.
- Smaug123 5y agoThis is an instance of the orthogonality thesis, by the way. Your assertion is that "increased ability to think" should cause "increased desire to eat Traditional Food (tm)", which is no more true than the assertion "increased ability to think causes increased desire to consume Renaissance art". Desires are, by and large, orthogonal to the generalised ability to achieve desires (the ability which you label "sense"). Some desires are not orthogonal - the desire to survive and be healthy, for example, which is instrumental in achieving many other desires - but to argue your assertion on those grounds, you must prove that Traditional Food is sufficiently dramatically better for achieving some instrumental goal.
