> I now have the feeling that all the info we need to live a healthy life is out there and that good health is slowly becoming a choice

While not incorrect, that's an interesting framing as your great-grandparents and most of their lineage already had all the needed info too. Cultures can't really survive hundreds or thousands of years without sorting out a reliable way for their members to thrive well enough, a knowledge that gets gradually and continuously encoded in their food traditions.

Our modern culture may be gaining insight into how to squeeze a little more wellness out of late life, or take a little more specific control when edge cases need attention, but those gains came on the tails of a dramatic disruption of cultural knowledge that was already there and already encoded in communities' daily intuitive eating practice.

We have finer and more evidenced ideas now, but it's going to take many generations to convert that from the intellectual, explicit knowledge we have now into a widespread practice that people no longer need to invest attention in.

Yes but we’re also not suffering from starvation and disease as much to the best of my knowledge, so that’s something.
