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 😬😬😬

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.

wack. what's wrong with US agricultural techniques?

Not sure but spend a couple weeks somewhere that doesn’t use them and you’ll notice a difference.
Too much optimization for speed & size of harvest & max shelf life = degraded taste and less micronutrient accumulation; when healthy stuff tastes bland we compensate with more sugar & salt, when we get less nutrients we compensate by overeating calories...
