Wow, what a wonderful and prescient post. Found the book Michael Pollan wrote entitled "in Defense of Food" in a free little library. Wish more people knew about this. Thank you for all your thoughts.
You make some valid historical points, but for some of us who have suffered from eating disorders - intermittent fasting could trigger the mechanism that prevents us from eating. So please take a side trip into the psychological and mental issues of eating disorders, which stem from control issues, often acquired or learned from parental fixations on various opinions of body health or mealtime appropriate behavior.
There are a number of us who can all too easily tap into the Serengeti in our minds, resulting in too much exercise and not enough nutrients, carbohydrates, etc.
We do need to do something about the unhealthy foods produced by corporations today. Your discussion and background information is helpful, but please do not forget the contingent that has developed an unhealthy aversion to food as well. Thank you.
👉🏼 "...our relentless pursuit of ease is leading to an epidemic of chronic disease."
👉🏼 "...the same investment group owns the companies that make us sick and also owns the companies that produce pharmaceutical drugs to address the symptoms of our diseases – and never the root causes. There is a gruesome incentive at play to make people sick and then hook them for life on the drugs that allay only the most acute presentations of disease. The same group owns the poison and the antidote to the poison."
