I see it taking decades to correct unfortunately- it will just take consistent education and that should motivate policy makers and people to wake up and see what is happening that most chronic disease is reversible through diet and lifestyle. Lots of incentives working against this however including the interaction between doctors, pharma, government and fiat money. So much of the economy profits off people getting chronic disease and RCT trials are expensive and mostly pharmaceutical funded. It’s going to take a grass roots approach which should reach a breaking point in the coming years hopefully but people also need to want to help themselves .. it will be even more difficult than getting people to stop smoking.. its so pervasive in our culture to eat like shit, take drugs, not be active and live a stressed lifestyle, avoid the sun, get shitty sleep so much needs to change. At a scientific level funding needs to come from other places than just pharma and government. Hopefully some rich bitcoiners will help with this and other foundations which operate outside the system. I think people are waking up tho and social media influencers actually help there’s a ton of high quality information out there already from many smart ppl. It’s just up to people to listen.. bees don’t waste their time to tell flies not to eat shit they just go about their day eating nectar and pollen. In the same way it’s hard to convince someone to change their habits.

Have humans evolved over time to accept their surroundings (diet, lifestyle, culture) as it is and not ask too many questions? So maybe it's very unnatural for some humans to "wake up" and reject the food that has been served to them throughout their lives.
