may need to become obsessed with micronutrient deficiencies and food sensitivities for awhile next

i've accidentally been eating a bunch of gluten (from stuff like soy sauce and teriyaki sauce) and it's been fucking my shit up, my god, i forgot how bad it is. i get knocked out for half a day

heavily processed food is one thing but someone told me once that for various reasons even fresh raw ingredients are less nutritious than they used to be - i forget the details but that's a haunting prospect 😬 is everyone malnourished all the time or what

part of the story i remember hearing is that this might be a contributor to the obesity epidemic too - if all food is less nutritious you have to eat too many calories to get enough micronutrients 😬😬😬

i ate 4 pieces of salmon sashimi as part of dinner tonight and i legitimately feel a little body high right now which is fucking crazy. google says salmon is high in "vitamins B3, B5, B6, B12, vitamin D, vitamin E and selenium." hmm

I wrote an essay about an extremely interesting theory of the obesity epidemic that I came across. Read a history of fad diets, how croissants can help you lose weight, and details about squirrel hibernation and mania you never knew you needed to know:

I buy it. If you dig into really nutritious stuff - eggs, liver, quinoa, etc in the morning it's much easier to fast through the day

If you go some place that doesn’t use US agricultural techniques it’s amazing how much better you feel after a couple weeks. Cuba is the best, thx to the embargo they don’t have anything from Monsanto.

Ah shit I've been trying to spread this idea after I went down the micronutrient rabbit hole and it wouldn't stick because what do I know about nutrition?
