Yup, that's true. And the things we were focussing on are good. They're just not everything.
That's what they said back when butter would kill you and margarine was the solution.

Generally the finer specimens go to the whole products.
They are entirely different strains when it comes to tomato cultivation at industrial scale. A tomato that ends up in a sauce or frozen never had the option to make it to the store while whole.
From the source: "The high rate of magnesium deficiency now postulated [5,6,7,8] can be attributed in part to a steady decline in general magnesium content in cultivated fruits and vegetables, a reflection of the observed depletion of magnesium in soil over the past 100 years [11,12,13]. A report to Congress was already sounding the alarm as far back as the 1930s, pointing out the paucity of magnesium, and other mine…
Interesting. I recently started using Magnesium Glycinate as a supplement and I feel it truly changed my life, not exaggerating. I’ve suffered from chronic general anxiety for most of my teens and adult life. Magnesium has completely cleared this up, things I thought were just part of my personality (being anxious and other associated things) were actually due to a chronic magnesium deficiency. I just have to make su…

I don't get it. You're saying we shouldn't bother to improve things because they still won't be perfect?

I wonder if there's a relationship to the obesity epidemic, especially since it's not just humans that are getting larger but also lab animals, pets, and wild animals living close to humans [1]. What if we're compelled to eat more calories when we're not getting enough nutrients in our diets? This would impact any animals consuming lower quality fruits and vegetables.

Anecdotally, this has been my personal experience. I have gone through phases of my life where I ate a lot of junk food. I would feel constantly hungry during those phases, until I ate something nutritious, green and easily-digestible, like steamed broccoli or green peas.

Or, just have 2 billion people on the planet, instead of 8.
You're welcome to take the lead and do your part to move the planet one step closer then.
Your humorous implication that suicide would be effective has some merit, but only for individuals who have not reproduced already.

Why do people always arrive at "cull the herd" before "our way of life should change"?
And "culling" (I assume you mean through violent means) isn't necessary. Simply reducing birth rates achieves the same solution.

Such obvious truths are unfortunately incompatible with individual instincts to procreate.
Research who pollute/consume to most. One average American has the impact of many Africans, so some may have many children if they continue not to ruin the planet. And please compare the impact of top 10% richest US households vs the bottom 50%. Quality > quantity.

sometimes a pizza or a coke is not a bad thing you know. if you put all the bad stuff away, there might just come the time when your kids have enough of your rules and rebel and then begin to compensate and overuse those stuff. been there, done that
Just don't normalize shitty food as something you eat casually, teach your kids to enjoy it like alcohol. A little every so often is fine, too much too often is bad.

This is a very important question, in my opinion. I am going to check how the amounts are calculated.
