Our Food Is Killing Too Many of Us
The whole debate about nutrition confuses me.<p>We have all of this hyper-specific advice that sells a lifestyle, like telling people to eat kale or chia seeds or whatever the new hip of the week is. Hyper-optimization for overachievers; or at least those who like to pretend.<p>In reality, you could basically fix this situation overnight by killing off TV dinners and fast food. Yes, my pleasure centers are also tickled by a McDonalds, cause I&#x27;m an idiot just like you, we don&#x27;t need it.<p>We call it &quot;junk food&quot; as a sort of humorous quip. If it&#x27;s actually junk (and it mostly is), then it shouldn&#x27;t be on sale, because it crowds out alternatives.
