I definitely agree that a lot of countries have widespread health issues caused by poor diet including ultra-processed "foods" that are nutrient poor, lacking in healthy fibre, and full of additives, sugar and salt, which messes with our gut microbiome. It's all about making a profit from selling packaged garbage that pretends to be food. And I'd add that high sugar/carbohydrate consumption which causes obesity, insulin resistance and inflammation is another widespread health issue.

But with food intolerances and allergies on the rise, what's good dietary advice for you or me may not be good for others. It's an individual thing. For example, I have a bad reaction to things like turmeric and some seeds, but others say they are a must for them. Just because something is said to be anti-inflammatory doesn't mean it can or should be eaten by everyone.
