SAMA HOOLE: Modern nutrition science: 70 years old. Funded by food industry. Causing epidemic disease. Traditional wisdom: Millions of years old. Tested by survival. Producing healthy populations.

Every traditional culture Weston A. Price studied had dietary wisdom passed down through generations:

Swiss villagers: "The butter and cheese make strong bones. Don't eat the valley food."

Gaelic islanders: "Fish heads and organs have the strength. Don't skip them."

Every traditional culture Weston A. Price studied had dietary wisdom passed down through generations: Swiss villagers: "The butter and cheese make strong bones. Don't eat the valley food." Gaelic islanders: "Fish heads and organs have the strength. Don't skip them." Maasai: "Blood and milk make warriors. Grain makes farmers weak." Inuit: "Fat is life. Lean meat is death. The white food is poison." Polynesians: "The sea provides strength. The land food is for famine." Australian Aboriginals: "Follow the animals. They know what to eat." They weren't guessing. They were passing down thousands of years of empirical observation. Children who ate traditional food: Healthy, strong, survived. Children who didn't: Weak, sick, died. Natural selection is the ultimate peer review. It ran for millennia. The results were clear. Modern nutrition science: 70 years old. Funded by food industry. Causing epidemic disease. Traditional wisdom: Millions of years old. Tested by survival. Producing healthy populations. Which one should we trust? We chose the 70-year-old industry-funded science. Because it's "modern." The traditional cultures watched us choose wrong. They tried to warn us. "That food will make you sick. It made us sick. Don't eat it." We called them ignorant. Backward. Unscientific. Then we got obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, autoimmune conditions, mental illness - all at epidemic rates. They were right. We were wrong. The evidence is overwhelming. But admitting this means admitting we've been poisoning ourselves for 70 years while calling it progress. Can't have that. Too embarrassing. Too expensive. Too many industries to dismantle. So we keep pretending traditional cultures were lucky. Or genetic outliers. Or that their health was coincidence. When actually they knew. They'd always known. And we forgot.
