[Blogspam]"People like what they eat rather than eat what they like"
While reading Fat of The Land recently, I came across a quote that really made me think.
“People like what they eat rather than eat what they like”
My workplace is very multicultural and the majority of each nationality continues to eat foods prepared similarly to that of how they grew up. Even going as far as purchasing imported goods, disregarding quality for familiar branding. It makes sense to say, that which is familiar to us is what directs what we eat.
We don’t easily draw the connection between health and diet because we’ve never had to. Typically all we’ve had to do is follow our instincts. In modern society this leads us down the wrong track because every industry that sells consumables will do whatever they can to get you to buy their product. Unfortunately there are mechanisms within us that can be hijacked into over-consuming junk (processed sugar).
So now we’re a population who’ve grown up eating in ways that is incompatible with optimal health. I like to think that here in subreddits like this one, we’ve come much closer to eating in alignment with out instincts. Once you’ve restricted what you can eat to that which is most natural, only then you can trust your appetite.
