In the controversy over food there are lots of opinions and documentaries. In my opinion, most fail to consider all aspects. There are those that advocate “a natural diet”. That means, no meat, only fruit, vegetables, grains, and minimal dairy. What they fail to take into account is the single biggest factor in any “natural” diet which is simply the avoidance of processed foods. Anything that comes in a box, a can, or a package is probably a processed food. Any avoidance of those products will obviously reduce your weight and improve your health. To put the diet question simply, consider that we are omnivores. From our teeth to our digestive system we are designed to eat both meat and vegetables, fruits, nuts, and grains. We for many thousands of years were hunter/gatherers. This is the diet our body is designed to function on. Some meat, unprocessed fruit, vegetable, nuts, grains, a minimal amount of animal fat such as butter. We are not designed to be nourished by dairy products, processed grains, or any other processed food including the gigantic amount of sugar and salt that they contain. The unfortunate part of modern life in America is that the unhealthy options are so vast, the temptation so great, that moderation no longer exists.
