The problem with this claim that the western diet is part of our evolution is that we use every trick in the book to combat the negative side effects. I, for instance, have Crohn&#x27;s Disease, which basically didn&#x27;t exist 100 years ago. If our Western Diet were influencing our evolution, yeah maybe the population would be healthy because it would be dynamically adapting, but it&#x27;d be because people like me would be dead or dying off. But we aren&#x27;t because of modern medicine. So we&#x27;re not really evolving that much thanks to our diet. We&#x27;re handling the negative consequences and getting stuck in a quagmire. Autoimmune diseases are increasing at a crazy rate even now in the East.
