Failure to eat whole food is a major contributor.

In the olden days it was all there was.

Ask any produce manager in any supermarket, they throw out more than they sell.

That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with bacon, beef or butter.

Ah-h-h-h, the three B's.

Like Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.

Failure to grow whole foods - a whole food being one that smells like the food should - take tomatoes, they used to be strongly scented and very juicy - now only the most expensive ones have even the faintest of odors.

Why is that important?

Scent signals to your body that the food is good to eat and the body responds by processing it correctly, not just digesting it, but utilizing all the food.

There was an article on FR about this a long while back. I don’t remember the title.

Modern farming produces lots of food, but had that produce been around 50-60 years ago, they would have been declared inedible and thrown out.,

I agree, so this morning I ate a whole package of bacon. I guess tonight I’ll have to drink a whole 6 pack of beer. /g

True.
That old series Amish Cooking in Quilt Country said the Amish can eat thousands of calories a day with large amounts of fat and not gain an ounce all year. Reason—— lots of walking and heavy work without machines. And Mariner is right-—whole foods mean a lot. How many cans of Chef Boyardee and packages of Rice A Roni do they eat?
