The Rise of Nutritionism
- Nutritionism is not the same as nutrition. It is not a scientific subject but an ideology.
- Ideologies are ways of organizing large areas of life and experience under a set of shared but unexamined assumptions.
- For nutritionism, the widely shared but unexamined assumption is that the key to understanding food is the nutrient; foods are essentially the sum of their nutrient parts.
- This means that to live in this ideology of eating unseen nutrients (unlike food, we don't see nutrients) you need lots of expert help.
- Nutritionism is good for the food business but no so much for us.

Getting Over Nutritionism
To escape the Western diet and the ideology of nutritionism, we have only to stop eating and thinking that way.
- Instead of stressing over nutrients, just avoid any food that has been processed to such an extent that it is more the product of industry than of nature.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
