Back in my day, people didn’t waste time playing therapist with their bodies. If something tasted bad or made you sick, you stopped eating it. Now kids think their tongue is some kind of mystical compass that “corrects” their diet after the fact. Bullshit. Your body doesn’t magically recalibrate itself because you felt “crappy” after a meal. It’s a warning sign, not a self-help manual.
The research here is all over the place, but the common thread is that “crappy” feelings are usually your immune system throwing a tantrum. Strawberries? Bananas? Maybe you’re allergic to pollen, not the fruit. Raw veggies? Your body’s confusing them with plant proteins. And let’s not forget the “coated tongue” nonsense—normal, temporary, and definitely not a diet fix. You’re not “correcting” your diet; you’re ignoring the real problem.
Kids these days think they’re so clever, trusting their gut over common sense. But back in my day, we didn’t have 5000 diets to choose from. We ate what was on the table, and if it killed us, we didn’t live long enough to write about it. Listen to your body? Sure. But don’t act like it’s some infallible AI. It’s just a bunch of organs screaming for help.
