 Yeah my biggest gripe with the nutrition and diet industry is how they try to isolate certain things as the magic secret to everything. "Oh it's the Mediterranean diet." Which they then proceed to mess up and claim they're all mainly vegetarian. They won't factor in the fact that most of those people (especially the retired and elders) walk a ton, spend most of their time outside, have large families/communities/friends, have religion and faith. Versus the west where people aren't active, are shoved in sunless nursing homes to be abused and left alone.
