Does anybody here doubt that chronic evasion enforced by tribal conformity
can win for a long time against empirically based reason? Have the eating
habits of the average USA citizen reached rock bottom after obesity has
finally (whew what a battle) become acknowledged as a chronic disease? No.
Evasion continues. Preventable hypoglycemia, diabetes, heart disease and
cancer continue to increase incapacitating and destroying the lives of
younger and younger people as the appalling US diet plumbs new depths
(only matched by electric music). Possibly the worst outcome of is that
heath care in the US is inevitably predicted to steadily be less and less
affordable as people chomp their way into an early junk food grave only
because it correctly reflects this awful market reality.

How can any intelligent member of the general public reconcile the billions
spent on scientific research with the _continuing absurdity_ of the average
American diet? What we see here can only be explained as limiting reason to
what remains politically acceptable. A classic example is the popular Atkins
diet which actually encouraged overweight (i.e. chronically ill) people to
poison their system by entering ketosis forcing off a few kilos without
removing the artery hardening risks known to be associated with excess
animal products. How could any responsible adult advocate such insanity?
Atkins hid the fact (or did not now) that he had heart disease which was
only discovered after he was said to have died by accident.

It is still possible to read reams and reams of utterly biased nonsense re:
carbs Vs fat and protein battle which has finally resolved itself into: what
we meant to say all along was COMPLEX carbs and not just carbs (duh).
Meanwhile, advocates of a rational diet based on evolutionary theory (eating
a wide range of natural unprocessed foods in season which mostly consists of
high fiber vegetarian products all of which remain low G.I) mostly enjoying
good health look on in wonder and amazement as flabby gilled "experts" spit
venom at each other over something so obvious. I am beginning to come around
to thinking that Peter's AEVASIVE psychology (which I do not understand)
must have some truth to it.
