> so it's technically less about the quality of the food (i.e. how healthy your meal ingredients are) and more about feeling satiated long enough to not go crazy from hunger pangs between meals. This is clearly not backed by science. It's clear that humans need a certain set and quantity of micro nutrients, macro nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Now, of course, food is not the only factor determining your health. So there are people who only eat french fries and smoke and live to be a hundred, and there are people who eat a balanced diet, work out every day and then die from cancer with 40. But it's all about probabilities. Eating a balanced, whole food diet decreaes your all-cause mortality. And this is not religion, this is science. Now, of course, every body is different and not nutrition is complicated and not that well-understood on an individual level. And yes, if you have a allergies or other types of reactions to certain foods that are considered healthy in general, you should not eat them.
