>overconsumption of calories and proven weight gaining foods >CONSUMPTION OF BOTH FAT AND SUGAR IN THE SAME MEAL. This is the biggest point. They've done studies showing you if you consume high-carb low fat you can consume around 50% more calories without gaining weight. The mixture of these substances is completely unnatural. Fat and sugar are not found in nature anywhere. Your body can't process it effectively and it gets stored as fat, particularly visceral fat>seed oils. PUFAs in these high amount are also intolerable for your body, and the high levels of Omega 6s wreak havoc on your body. They should be 1-5 to 1-3 omega 3 to omega 6 ideally. Instead we're around 1-15+.>modern grains. Modern grains have been selectively bred and genetically modified to have massive amounts of gluten and lectins. Terrible for your immune system which has been shown to cause mental disorders and tooth decay>factory farming, view webm, you are what you eat. If you want to eat fast food you're going to eat a plethora of toxic chemicals which are also addictive, but in addition you'll eat animals pumped with HORMONES and STEROIDS, which are GM to mature 3x than nature. Fed GMO garbage and diseased. If you eat this YOU WILL BE DISEASED, CATTLE.>Americans don't consume enough veggies. Many don't consume any. Americans have a pathological hatred for vegetables. You need vegetables to get the essential bioflavonoids for optimal immune function>Industrial farming practices. Did you know the average apple had 5x the nutrition in the 1950s compared to today? We use synthetic fertilizers which miss out on many of the key nutrients for healthy, delicious food. So we have to consume much more (and ingest more pesticides) to get the same level in the past, look at why juice fasting is popular>Because our food has MUCH LESS NUTRITION, OUR BODY FORCES US TO OVEREAT TO COMPENSATE, so that our organs can continue functioning TLDR;
We are absolutely fucked.
