 Balanced Diets.
Try telling an Eskimo that we need a variety of fruits and vegetables (or that fat is bad for you), or the Masai, of Hunzas. They ate minimal variety and were extremely healthy. It is only a speck in our time scale that we have eaten our version of the balanced diet. Nothing grew naturally in the regions now grown. Fruit and vegetables are seasonal also. To top it off, most fruits, vegeatables and grains are nothing like the original. We have 'bred' the modern versions to boost carb levels and taste, at the expense of nutrients. Check out soya beans. They weren't even a real food source until the western world stepped in. Its no mystery why we are the most obese humans ever on this planet. Yet we love promoting ourselves as experts.
