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:

it was a bento dinner - miso soup, salad with dressing (idk what was in the dressing), rice, edamame, grilled salmon (no teriyaki sauce)

Though those are all important nutrients it might be from the omega 3 content in salmon

I did all I could eat sushi a couple a days ago and my body felt totally different than normal, I felt I had a unique kind of energy.

Fish fats themselves also have substantial neurological benefits! I wouldn't say the omega-3 supplement I take makes me "high", exactly, but missing them makes me "low" - and your salmon sashimi has a higher and more bioavailable dose.
