Here's another way to look at food. Humans have slowly adapted to their diet over a hundred thousand years - something like 4,000 generations of humans. The evolution of humans, and the plants and animals they eat is really slow.

Suddenly someone comes up with new "hygienic" replacements, like margarine and Crisco, for butter and lard. Or they market a new food fetish called Reddieggs in a carton to replace those "dangerous" bird eggs. Or someone develops a new method for producing sugar at a very inexpensive cost - making a luxury food into the most common food ingredient.

If you're eating a diet similar to the way humans have eaten for thousands of years, you're probably pretty close to a healthy diet.

If someone has convinced you that you need to eat "scientifically" there's a good chance you've taken a wrong turn unless there's something special about your genetics or health which makes you different from most humans.
