Journalists tackle nutrition

Our approach to nutrition is wrong.

Michael Pollan brilliantly exposes how "nutritionism" is a messed up ideology which rests upon four inherently wrong premises:
- What's important in food is the nutrients.
- We rely on a "food priesthood" (doctors and scientists) to determine how we eat.
- There are good nutrients and bad nutrients.
- Food's purpose is health only.

"Eat food (real food), not too much, mostly vegetables."

Thank you so much Alex for sharing this! ;)

In the second talk, he casts light on common misconceptions we have about our self-perception in the evolutionary perspective when it comes to feeding ourselves.

Mark Bittman colorfully explains how our consumption of meat and its industry spiraled dangerously out of control.

Everyone eat just a little less of it please!


Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
