Well, one simply needs to have NOT been hypnotized over the
decades.
Hemp seed is second only to soy in protein content. It has the
best micronutrients in it.
It is a bit overpriced at $10 a pound, but so is meat, if one
were
to ask me.
The best thing about it is that it can be used in other food
preparations and only serves to improve one's selected diet
choices.
We could feed the unfed masses of the world (or some at least)
if
we would simply embrace hemp and cannabis.
Oh and the seeds taste good too! Hemp butter is great!
As to embracing cannabis, there are several places where it
would
help. Here is one example:
Instead of trying to quit smoking tobacco by way of patches or
vape
devices which continue to imbue nicotine on one, cannabis provides
a cure without nicotine.

Don't count on getting away with consuming mass

I haven't had any of the three for some time now.
Do you remember when eggs were bad for you? They are a
superfood now.
 Yes, it'd be nice if ice cream and cheesecake were
 declared superfoods. In our dreams.
As far as I can make out, superfoods have a few characteristics
in common:
 - they have a higher concentration of some useful
  nutrient or micronutrient
 - they are eaten in small quantities, so the extra
  concentration is unimportant w.r.t. nutrition
Also, they are not everyday items, so can be "discovered"
and talked about, and marketed.
It is that last of these that makes all the difference.
Think goji berries etc. Exotic overpriced and over packaged.
Change the superfood du jour every couple of years and you are
onto a sure fire winner selling overpriced "superfoods" to the
worried well.

So, if superfoods are nice, eat some. But don't use them
to satisfy nutritional needs.
It is a rather curious situation in the West at the moment where
rickets is making a come back in children because of indoor
lifestyles and high protection factor sunscreen (and a vitamin
D/calcium deficient diet).

I had "spots" as a child, which was a vitamin D deficiency.
Because of the spots, I was not able to get a smallpox vaccine as
I would have contracted the disease and died. My brother and
sister were also not able to get it as they would have passed it
to me. After I got the vitamins, the spots went away. They
looked like goose flesh.

It's prolly worth mentioning that the animal rights/ethical food
movement and various fascist movements have a long and somewhat
troubling history together, only for the sake of that sometimes
right-wingers re-discover this every once in a while and think they've
discovered some novel secret. It's not novel everyone knows this but
them and doesn't intrinsically discredit any particular food-ethics
movement except ones associated with fascists. The Nazis were also into
having good transit infrastructure
and nice uniforms so what.
There are pretty well-established digestive-tract-health reasons I
believe that it's a good idea for men over 40 to cut down on e.g. red
meat intake. Also heavily smoked foods are likely to be carcinogenic for
the same reason secondhand tobacco smoke is carcinogenic.
And also foods like ice cream, cheesecake, ribs, foods with lots of eggs
in them like scrambled eggs and omelets just have a huge amount of
calories and eating too much of them (they do taste pretty great) tends
to make you overweight and obesity is definitively associated with a
host of health problems.

in some subjects yes. in some definitely not. The question of diet is one of the latter.

Then your check should go up every year.

Exactly. Hence "slant."

Not true at all. Science means 'knowledge and understanding'. So,
consensus knowledge and understanding, while always limited, is
rarely wrong. It's never something that we know to be wrong,
because then it wouldn't BE consensus.
It's usually wrong, until whacked sufficiently hard by experiment.
But some fields of study aren't subject to experimant. So they stay
wrong.
