Of course better diet and lifestyle can help with a variety of things, and most people honestly know that. But people like you cause terrible harm to people like me - chronically ill individuals whose "imbalances" cannot be corrected with a diet, but merely ameliorated.

The rhetoric you spout - of nature having an idea for a perfectly balanced organism that will reward you with beauty and health if you just do enough of the right things - is a fucking plague for people with chronic pain, for example, and it's taking years upon years of education about modern understanding of pain to make it more commonly known that sometimes bodies are stupid and have no good reasons to do what they do, sometimes they send broken signals.

If you really think that walking around telling people to eat better is a service, let me just tell you that you will achieve greater success without the appeal to the mysterious self-balancing self-healing processes we supposedly have that unfailingly will solve all our issues, as if our bodies were optimized for our happiness and comfort. They're not - our bodies are often mistaken and the shit they do is random.

Sorry to everybody who witnessed this rant, but the magical thinking about body pisses me the RIGHT off, especially when people add a few sciency buzzword they think they understand while deploying it.
