The problem is framing this as "most americans are sick" and blaming it on diet.
- zarzavat 9mo ago40% of the population is obese. The framing seems on point to me. The actual advice is less so. Even more red meat is not the solution.
- staticassertion 9mo agoYou don't think that's in part because of economics, education, healthcare, or other factors? The framing of this site is that it is purely a "you're eating wrong" problem.
- rnd33 9mo agoA large part of the world population is poor, and they do not have the same level of health problems, nor are they similarly obese. Not purely diet related, but a huge part of it for sure.
- staticassertion 9mo agoIt would be great to see some comparisons. I'm not claiming that "poor" is the singular indicator so it's obviously going to come down to which countries you're referring to. I'm also not claiming that diet isn't a part of it, not even close. But the framing of the site is problematic to me.
- LorenPechtel 9mo agoFinally someone addresses the king's attire! State a problem. Propose a "solution" without doing anything to establish that it is actually a solution. Make it about "real", ignore the real issue of what one gets from the calories consumed. It's not the processing that makes food bad, it's that ultraprocessed foods are optimized for enjoyable eating, messing up our body's regulatory system. We eat too many calories too fast and get little from them other than calories. Especially objectionable to me is whole milk. It's so easy to drink so many calories.
