It’s interesting how many diet trends push cutting-edge superfoods or strict macros while completely ignoring the cultural roots of food. Take the Mediterranean diet, for example it’s praised now, but how many fads have come and gone while traditional eating patterns stayed effective for generations?
As someone who grew up with food tied to rituals and stories, it’s hard not to wonder: why don’t more plans embrace that wisdom instead of chasing the next quick fix? Maybe it’s marketing, or maybe we’ve just lost touch with how food connects to history.
Has anyone else noticed this? I’d love to hear how traditional foods play a role in your approach to nutrition especially if you’ve found ways to balance modern health goals with those deeper roots.
