We tend to forget where these traditions come from. I went to Sunday school as a kid, but had little to do with religion since then. These days most of us have more than enough to eat. It is so tempting to over-indulge. There are so many different diets people recommend it's hard to know what the best course is. I just try to eat fairly healthily and not worry about it too much. I gave up meat about 30 years ago.
Hope you are well.
I was interested in the human biology and nutrition aspect of Jason Fung's book. It's a good collection of the evidence, which is useful, but it was the findings about how hormones work in digestion that was fascinating, and that our bodies are infinitely adaptable to a wide variety of environmental conditions. "Diets" tend to be like social media - full of drama. But poverty plays its part, too. It's not an accident that obesity and type 2 diabetes have greater prevalence amongst poorer and deprived communities.
I'm very well, hope you are, too 🙂.
