Obsessive-compulsive disorder can be profoundly disabling, trapping people in relentless intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that consume hours of every day.

If dieticians studied anthropology then they would know that it is ignorant to say “our ancestors ate lots of vegetables.” Wild plants were seasonal, sparse, fibrous, and low-calorie; meat provided the bulk of nutrition.

Most foods dominating the modern diet are younger than the light bulb. Yet we blame ancient foods (meat) for modern diseases.
