I eat mostly fruits, very little vegetables and cooked grains. I have lost 10+ kgs in the past 6 months. I was not obese, but could lose some weight. Refined sugars are detrimental for health. Whole fruits and their sugars are great!

Is this really a technology problem? Are we so naive that we believe these things were not happening in the past? This problem cannot be solved in the consciousness we currently exist in. The people running the world and those who ought to

You sound like an agent of the system. The authoritarian mindset is the reason why the whole system is so violent and morally bankrupt.

Poisons in very low quantity are used to treat diseases. Could it be that Ayurveda uses milk to treat the imbalance of the "doshas"? As a food, Ghee was used so very sparingly that it was almost not used at all. We cannot compare
