RE: A Better Diet May Help To Treat Depression
It is therefore surprising that this is something that has not been studied in a lot of depth until recently.
If you know the story that is Rocky-fellow medicine, then this is not surprising at all.
The food pyramid was brought to us by the big food industry, and is a recipe for killing people.
Nutritionists are finally starting to accept that there are multiple body types that require different food groups to be their healthiest.
What scares me most is that we still use the term calorie when discussing food.
Nice to hear from you mate! Yes the food lobby (along with their paid fake science shills) and also at times various other groups have put business interests ahead of public health (not really new I know). I think there have been various discussions about a better alternative to calories but there has been no resolution yet.
The calorie is just so fucking convenient. Its a number. Its easy to compute. Its easy to track...
And there is nothing equivalent anywhere to be seen.
A cucumber grown organically in your yard.
A cucumber grown in a local farm.
A cucumber gown half way around the world.
These three look identical, and have the exact same calories.
But, current nutritionists are finding their nutrition values wildly different.
Eating foods grown locally seems to be very important. Many surmise that it has to do with the local magnetic vibration, and the foods grown in it are much more nourishing for your body.
... so, anyway, I look forward to real studies of food and real studies of healthy people. We have done too much research into what is wrong in diets, and almost none in what is right in diets. It would seem obvious that if we want to know what is healthy, start finding healthy people and correlate their diets with body types.
Yes very good points. I try to buy local stuff now but it is not always as convenient as buying something from half way round the world which is quite crazy to think about.
