I just object when people use it as a force against science or logical thinking. We were given brains to use for survival and for our betterment, not for self destruction. Many people are pro-science when it comes to almost anything, except nutrition science. Then, suddenly, they don't believe in science, they only believe in a higher power. I think that's strange. It's as thought they have decided to use their brain up to a certain point, and then they stop.
Strange perhaps, but religion is a needed help to many.
I find it strange when people pick and choose the science they want to support.

Even IF all people ate what you promote, there would still be the need for life prolonging medications that are frequently prescribed. I think your diet is a fairly good one but missing some needed nutrients and not very palatable. People have a need for the pleasure of eating or we wouldn't have pleasure in eating hardwired into us. When the pleasure of eating is number one then there is a big problem. When someone says that they hesitate if it tastes good that behavior could well be obsessive behavior for some people.
