That's good, but you don't mention anything about obesity and related
issues.

OK, but I'm a tad sceptical about anyone's overall health on such a
diet.

Indeed they are. Mainstream medicine is incredibly conservative and
resistant to new ideas, even those ideas proven to be correct.

There is a lot of exciting new knowledge in recent years, especially
in terms of our genes, and how to turn on beneficial genes than
usually remain dormant in modern first world lifestyles. It's possible
to change your metabolism though diet and fasting, for example.I've
done it myself.

Or increase your longevity/avoiding harmful mutations by lengthening
your telomeres (protective caps on your genes) simply through diet and
fasting.

Yeah, humans evolve, but it does take time. A lot of time. Whereas
technology in relation to food production and marketing is
comparatively moves at the speed of light.

ObFood: Breakfast was chicken liver and eggs, with garlic, Thai
chillis, nettles, parsley, celery and spinach.
