And yet it's still us, practitioners of a 99% Western diet, that largely suffer from obesity, and not the rest of the world that still eats a traditional diet while working in modern employment.
I read someplace that the science of nutrition today is near what surgery was in the 18th century. Rather dubious at times and always changing.
