Saying "liver has more vitamin A than apples" makes sense to diet gurus, because their entire lives revolve around what they put in their mouths, but that's not how food works for most people

If you remove all of the cultural, social, and other baggage that goes along with food choices, we'd probably all be eating some sort of flavorless nutrient pastepic.twitter.com/8C0VhFIUOg

Seriously, we know how to make these pastes (it's not that hard) and yet almost no one lives entirely off them BECAUSE FOOD ISN'T JUST FOOD

The problem with diet gurus is that they pretend everything is about micronutrients because it's hard to sell books by telling people they have to change their entire lives to follow the dietary commandments

So rather than make a reasonable argument about why you might want to eat raw liver (if there is one), you get meaningless comparisons between liver and fruit as if the only defining characteristic of those two things is how much niacin you get when you eat it
