Unfortunately, she and so many of the other, "all natural, granola chewers", totally miss the point. There are a lot of problems with our diet today, but the biggest is the added sugar and the promotion of grains and fruits as being healthy.
We are eating huge amounts of sugar without knowing it and we are also being told to consume huge quantities of grains, which in today's world, have been genetically altered. Those grains turn into sugar in our bodies very quickly.
We are also being fed huge amounts of drugs by the AMA and pharmaceutical companies in an attempt to lower the evil cholesterol even though most will admit today that cholesterol poses no problems.
I posted a one hour and 45 minute video about this problem on this forum and exactly one person watched it.
Now, this may not be the only opinion and there may be others out there who feel they can refute this information. I say, let them present their case. The more information we have the better. But, I am finding that most people would rather stick their heads in the sand and say things like, "everything in moderation" and "surely a little can't do you any harm".
People are very comfortable with what they eat and I believe that for the most part they are not willing to make changes. We have become to reliant on what is convenient.

The only thing I could say here in people's defense is that a one-hour-45-minute video is like going to the movies, and probably would appeal to people who are already into this subject, and be too long for the people who aren't.
If you want to grab somebody, do it quickly. They might go on to view more.
