What kind of wisdom should this be? Deleting any quality difference between consuming water when you're thirsty, and consuming tons of sugar?

Fatness in the west is spreading pandemic. and it is not about people eating too much, but eating the wrong kind of stuff. Sugar. Salt. Bad fats and oils. White flour. Too much meat. And not eating enough of what physiologically is needed: roughage/dietary fibre for example. Vegetable. Unreffined grain. Most industrial food, convenience food, should be labelled as poisenous and hazardous to your health. That's is no exaggeration, that is the simple truth. Fatness, diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases - all this witnesses that we are eating too bad food. And increasingly we find hints and evidence for typical diseases of higher age being influenced by bad diet habits as well: Parkinson, Altzheimer.
