I would say food - most asian people I know (even ones that eat a pretty western diet) still randomly incorporate a lot of things that are Real Foods or processed type foods that are close to Real Foods. They also eat a lot (generally) more mushrooms and fermented food (and great variety of fermented food - not just yeast based stuff like yogurt).
Does it really make sense that Western diets basically just ignore a whole kingdom of foods? Plants, Animals, Fungi. Those are the three. Why do we eat so few of the latter?

Not that this detracts from the rest of your point at all, but yogurt is fermented by bacteria. There are milk drinks that are fermented by SCOBY though, like kefir.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoYogurt might be, but nearly all non-plain yogurt (in US supermarkets) is loaded with sugar. People eating such yogurt believing they're eating "healthy" are making a mistake.
- klipt 4y agoYeast is a fungus? So if you eat bread or drink wine/beer you're probably consuming some amount of fungus that way.
- kmc059000 4y agoMost commercial beer completely removes the yeast though, even many microbreweries. If you don't visibly see sediment in the bottle, it has been filtered. The reason is consistency in product and consumer preferences.
