Not to mention the pandemic of disease being caused by highly processed foods. The damage being done at a global scale is hard to quantify.
No perfect analogy for this. One of the many I have used over the years is to have someone imagine driving their car on the highway while pressing on the accelerator all the way down, as far as it will go. To control speed, use the brakes. And then, when the inevitable happens, we blame the brakes.
That's what's happening to billions of people. Except for corner cases, obesity is 100% caused by toxic nutrition. The same statement holds for type 2 diabetes.
In the US, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is complicit in that they do nothing to prevent what could be characterized as poisonous food from entering the market.
I think I can say that most food found at a supermarket is horrible stuff that will hurt you over the long run. Let's put it this way: Drugs require prescriptions because, among other things, they would be dangerous to consume freely, without a real medical reason to have them. If you read the ingredients in most food items sold, given what the consequences, it would be easy to wonder why this stuff doesn't require medical supervision to consume.
And then we blame vitamin D? C'mon. It's the brakes, not the engine going full throttle down the road. Right.
