In terms of opinions about foods, there is so much damn noise it’s tough to know where to begin:
Paleo, vegan, gluten-free — the only certainty about health trends is their reversal
Yeah and,
No food trend is more powerful, and potentially dangerous, than one that targets health and diet.
Yeah and,
Health trends are not new. Ever since humans have had enough to eat, we have worried about the right things to eat and devised diets to target various goals, including weight loss, beauty, sexual health and disease prevention. Nearly every consumable food and beverage, whether organ meats, tomatoes and grain liquor or sugary sodas have been praised, at one point, as a panacea.
Little wonder that no one believes anything anymore. Why bother?
This craziness will get worse, although I am hoping that it will ultimately lead to people taking responsibility for their own decisions, and not endlessly relying on others.
But perhaps I’m being an optimist.
