“Let’s be clear: where people around the world reliably derive health and vitality from food, they don’t do so courtesy of morning shows offering an ever-changing flavor-of-the-week approach to truth. They do not focus on the dizzying discord where details are hotly debated ad infinitum; they rely, instead, on the stable perch of common ground. They get to health not on the basis of headlines, hyperbole, and hooey—but heritage. Their practices have stood the test of time and generations, are informed by both sense and science, and are the stuff of global expert consensus.”
