That’s the long and short of it. Your average American has the functional understanding of a five year old because they don’t know what they haven’t been taught which is most of everything.
You ask a first grade class if they want ice cream for breakfast and they will basically never say no.
They want it because it makes them happy without understanding what makes them healthy.
Most people are level 1 Skyrim characters and only understand explicitly what they level up by doing… Which is usually as little as possible.
Many facets of society have been turned into Skinner boxes that reward people dopamine for doom scrolling, isolating, or being angry.
Even if one wants to argue the downfall of society was accidental and not malicious, those in power never really seemed to do anything but make shit worse regardless.
Even if the system is working as designed… This is the fucking end result and inspires no hope there won’t be a world wide economic collapse.
The ironic thing is the human body runs on fat and a huge portion of our illness stems from the insane amount of sugar we consume.

Summary: In 1984 our group published the first modern study of the effects of adapting to a low carbohydrate high fat diets on athletic performance. I have spent the next 31 years expanding on this research. In my presentation I will present the results of that research program and conclude with our exciting new evidence for the role of low carbohydrate diets and ketosis in the prevention of whole body inflammation in athletes training daily at very high loads. I will also present evidence to show that elite ultra-endurance athletes have an unexpectedly high capacity to oxidize fat during exercise and so potentially to run at fast paces for prolonged periods without the need to ingest exogenous fuels.
