I think people are fixating on this sentence at the beginning -

> For a wild animal, the default state is health.

Maybe OP meant a state of balance? For all those that describe injuries and parasites - those kill the host if they aren't 'healthy'. Having parasites is not inherently unhealthy, there's a bunch of symbiotic relationships out there.

I agree though - you eat clean and get rid of the junk, you will be more healthy. Nothing in this article sounded crazy to me, and honestly shadow downvotes on reasonable replies with no reasoning leads me to believe the vested interests are in these forums as well protecting their image.

Also to be clear - OP is not talking about GMOs, they're talking about wonder bread where all the nutrition of the wheat is stripped out during processing, leaving you eating nothing but carbs and sugar instead of a more balanced food with fiber which helps you process the other things.
