Very impressive, the topic is polarising and people who don’t agree on the diet side solutions often feel belittled or proselytised by advocates.
That shuts down discussion and reinforces closed mindedness.
Encouraging people to a) eat what they want and b) talk about it hopefully will lead to empowerment without triggering shame.
Here in Australia I see a similar polarisation with our economy and housing market, people who can’t afford to live don’t want to talk with those who own homes because incentives are opposed. The sheer act of talking about it feels threatening.
We’ve got to find more pathways to common discussion like this in general.
