I think one of the issues with this is that most people have pretty terrible diets, most people have pretty terrible diets that can be improved pretty easily, and when dietary improvements are suggested a lot of time the response is “this is just really complicated, it’s not that simple.” Not everything is simple, but, say, giving up soda is something that’s healthy and going to have a positive impact on people’s lives. People who are saying “don’t tell me to give up soda because I have sleep apnea” are looking for excuses for their bad habits. If someone is eating healthy foods and making a genuine effort to get good exercise, then we can talk about other factors. But too many people use “this is so complex” to avoid the very basics of healthy living.
