One of the first moments of consternation when trying to understand the philosophy of the Native Indians happened with the People of the Red Earth when my teacher said to me:
The food is killing us .
I remember asking myself the question: How can FOOD kill you.. as usual the Indians were right, FOOD in the USA is the major killer, much more than Guns or Cars or Accidents..this I believe.
A calorie-centric, carbohydrate-protein-fat model of thinking became and still is predominant but not paying attention to the QUALITY of FOOD.. if you are on a low carbohydrate diet with bad Quality of the ingredients, it is still is BAD FOOD.. not a good nutrition.
the reason why food restriction works reasonably well is because with restriction comes the restriction of chemicals, preservatives and all those other things that harm the bodies of human being and not to mention the animals and trees..

Question What is the estimated mortality due to heart disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes (cardiometabolic deaths) associated with suboptimal intakes of 10 dietary factors in the United States?
Findings In 2012, suboptimal intake of dietary factors was associated with an estimated 318 656 cardiometabolic deaths, representing 45.4% of cardiometabolic deaths. The highest proportions of cardiometabolic deaths were estimated to be related to excess sodium intake, insufficient intake of nuts/seeds, high intake of processed meats, and low intake of seafood omega-3 fats.
Meaning Suboptimal intake of specific foods and nutrients was associated with a substantial proportion of deaths due to heart disease, stroke, or type 2 diabetes.
highly processed food which also may contain more sodium and Pizza Hut or McDo does not give you Omega-3 fats which has to arrive in the form of food rather than GNC merchant tablets..
The same teacher who told me about Food killing the Indians also said to me:
We know the answers but the Americans are too arrogant to ask us!
