🌲Fæġer Mæġden🌲 (nprofile…q0de) I think it's more the slop that ppl eat doesn't tend to be made of ingredients that would have much in the way of micronutrients to begin with. As a real food enjoyer, I definitely find say cooking up lots of fresh or frozen veggies brings more sateity. These are ofc from fields which are more depleted. But I'm getting a lot more than say, guy who eats microwaved frozen boxed food product, pringles, etc.

That all that slop is easy to binge on contributes too, I think. & with how poisonous the food is, well, eating it makes ppl feel bad -- & not just bc of micronutrient lack, tho that *is* a big problem. & then they cope with feeling bad by eating, etc. & there's the whole hormone/insulin aspect, which causes the body to prefer grafting excess energy as fat vs burning through it via futile cycles etc. So, in short, I think the micronutrient depletion is one aspect of it. But I think the obesity is due to a wide variety of factors, that the whole way we do food is wrong -- & it's really tied in with broader problems of how ppl live. (ppl eating to cope with feeling bad isn't just due to feeling bad bc of bad food/lack of nutrients, the whole way of life makes them feel bad, too. Ppl are more sedentary, which both makes them gain fat, but *also* makes them feel bad, etc etc)
