This episode was amazing and perfect for right now. I was just reading an infuriating Reddit thread where people were talking about why Japanese people live longer and are “healthier,” despite eating white rice. The mental gymnastics was nuts. People said they don’t eat much of it, which isn’t true. Other people said it was because they understand portion control. Ugh…it was just full of fat-phobia and trying to find the “answer” to health, which isn’t possible.
So well said, Elizabeth! That's the common narrative when it comes to health: "let's try to figure out what they eat, that must be the answer"..."oh wait, not if it involves that food..." Mental gymnastics is the right phrase!
