Proper food?

A bit judgemental there perhaps?

Word such as proper, natural and healthy are very subjective and open to argument. Many food qualities are constantly open to debate including sugar, carbohydrates, cholesterol, fats, various proteins, antioxidants and stimulants. For example the movement away from fats, and towards added sugar, has been disastrous in terms of obesity rates.

The overriding factor is that all of us operate on differing metabolic ways and the increasing levels of inflammatory responses and autoimmune afflictions caused to a large part by poor diet, pharmaceutical overuse, environmental toxins, caffeine and alcohol consumption and most importantly stress. We are increasingly becoming a health compromised species and while the adoption of food that are less damaging to our environment is to be admired on one level the increase in such heavily refined and manipulated inputs into our diets is very questionable for our gut and overall bodily health.
