Agreed.

I remember a few years back, here on HN everyone was obsessed with diets and supplements and optimizing their nutrients.

I remember telling someone that eating is also a cultural and pleasurable activity, that it's not just about nutrients, and that it's not always meant to be optimized.

It wasn't well received.

Thankfully these days that kind of posts are much less common here. That particular fad seems to have lost its appeal.

Oh yeah, it’s both funny and understandable how we’ve swung from the mania of huel-esque techbro belief of nutrition to the current holistic eating “beef tallow” and no-seed oils movement. I think we realized guzzling slop alone is spiritually empty.
