Beyond Nutritionism: A Return to Real Food

This article critiques the fallacy of 'nutritionism,' the excessive focus on individual nutrients in food while ignoring the importance of whole foods and food culture. The author argues that the industrialization of the modern diet has led to refined foods, a lack of diversity, and neglect of leafy greens, resulting in chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes. The author advocates a return to traditional food cultures, emphasizing plant-based diets, minimizing processed foods, and highlighting the importance of food diversity and the joy of cooking. The ultimate goal is to foster healthier, more sustainable relationships between humans and food.
