I don't know why this came out so blurry but this was my #ketobreakfast mom made this morning - Brussels sprouts, bacon and fried eggs. Mom is finally starting her #ketojourney today. 🎉 I finally managed to convince her to stop making excuses after watching #TheMagicPill and #InDefenseOfFood on @netflix. *************************** HASHTAGS *************************** #ketolifestyle #ketofyme #100daysofketo #ketodiet #ketocommunity #ketosis #weightloss #wellnessministry #lowcarb #saynotodiabetes #ketoaf #coacheswhoketo #CoachNiquenya (at Garfield Ridge, Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTVhkbFibZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gk1norcnxct5

Screening of #InDefenseOfFood in The #Bronx at the @bronxdocumentarycenter as part of a fundraiser for the @sbxfarmmarket followed by a panel discussion reflecting on the film's message of healthy eating and better understanding of our food source and supply. The film also discusses how our insatiable appetite for highly processed and addictive food has led to a host of health ailments of which The Bronx is all too familiar with as ranking last as the 62nd County in New York State in worse health outcomes. Truly a sobering documentary showing why it's important to take control of what we consume and how our food is grown and produced. #TheBronx #ilovethebronx #thebronxisbeautiful #welcome2thebronx #welcometothebronx #myBronx #yourBronx #ourBronx #everydaybronx @everydaybronx #thisisthebronx #SeeYourCity #thisisnewyorkcity #newyorkcity #newyork #nyc #PeopleOfTheBronx #BronxLife #BronxStreets #howibronx #food #foodjustice (at Bronx Documentary Center)

In Defense of Food: Part 2 Chapter 2

Author Michael Pollan titles this chapter as "The Elephant in the Room". This immediately captures our attention as readers, as the term 'elephant in the room' is a metaphor that refers to a fact that often goes unnoticed. In this case, the elephant in the room is the Western Diet, aka the popular pattern of eating in the modern world. He states the definition of the Western Diet at the beginning of the chapter as being "lots of processed foods and meat, lots of added fat and sugar, lots of everything except fruits, vegetables, and whole grains".

There had been many researchers consisting of doctors, dentists, etc. who study diet across the world and how it affects physical health. There had been controversy within the researchers. One believed the lack of fiber in the modern diet was the culprit for several diseases. One focused on refine carbohydrates, and others blamed eating meat and saturated fat. One discussed processed foods and industrially grown crops deficient in vitamins and minerals.

1. Looking at the arguments among the researchers, what do you think is the main culprit of the diseases behind the Western Diet?

2. What other factors cause health issues in today's world, especially since some cultures do not adapt to the Western Diet?
