Are we being hoodwinked?

What are your beliefs behind your nutrition? Are carbs bad? Is gluten unnatural? Is anything non-organic poison?

We have developed a dogmatic belief around food that approaches religious zealotry. The irony is that the creators of this fable blame the food industry and marketers for the narrative that exists. Yet it’s the opposite. The real obfuscation comes from those who would sell you problems you never knew existed.

They will gain your trust by exploiting your fears. They will earn your faith by exposing your insecurities. And they will access your wallet not through your logic but through emotion.

Keep faith to religion and allow evidence to guide your nutrition. We will still likely buy on emotion, it’s how we are wired. But if we can pause and look to logic and reason when trying to change we will be much more well informed.
