You might have, but he is selling the book isn't he?

At the end of the day "Eat less food" is something fat people don't want to hear so they will pay money for books and programmes that will tell them something else that they do want to hear. I am not saying eat less sugar & processed food is bad advice, but particularly the processed food advice can be expensive. Eating less food literally saves you money no matter what food that might be. It is advice that anyone can take, most people just don't want to hear it.

Might be more expensive for those living in the city, but there are also tons of other evidence that current monoculture farming is terrible for the soil and the nature. Not to mention that the most sugar is in the processed foods.

And where I live actually there are small farms, even not registered, that sell over Facebook. They sell naturally cured meats, no preservatives, no additives, home made diary products, jars of canned foods, etc. that actually cost less than the dead food that is sold in the stores.

My father is going strong into regenerative agriculture, producing we are canning our own food for the winter and making our own sauerkraut.

We don’t raise animals, yet…

That is not more expensive than going and buying food from the other side of the world just for the fancy label super food or whatnot.

That's great but I do think you're vastly overestimating how expensive the cheapest processed food is.

Once again, *if* you can do this great, but do you really believe this is largely repeatable advice for people?

"Bro, just buy land and start farming and canning your own food",

Well, the dude was saying that there was periods in history that factory made food made sense to battle the famine. But it is not the case now. And instead of pouring tons of government and business money in treating the symptoms without much effect, those money can go into prevention and make the food real and more affordable.

Food is real now, and healthy food is incredibly cheap. It doesn’t cost much to buy fresh produce and chicken, which is a solid foundation for meals.
