‘bread is bad for you’ ‘rice is bad for you’ sorry im not subscribing to the idea that staple grains that have been integral to cultures for centuries are evil. i love you carbs
how about just "we've bred out most of the nutrients in favor of crop size, disease resistance, and flavor profile, resulting in foods that are much less nutrient dense than those our ancestors ate"?
it used to be true, for example, that a person could actually survive on small beer and bread. but they're basically both empty calorie foods now, and a diet of just those would kill you pretty fast.
that applies to most if not all crops, and to the nutrient profile of animals we feed with those crops, if it's made grains evil by that logic food in general is evil now so it's kind of a moot point
