If it were up to scientists we’d all eat leafy greens and water. Because that’s healthiest.
I don't think such a diet would actually be considered very healthy to be honest, wouldn't one at least need a protein source?
Yeah you gotta add some beans and rice with occasional nuts
And hot sauce, maybe wrap it in a tortilla
Greens are a source of protein, most whole foods are. But if you ate only greens I highly doubt you'd be able to eat enough calories, and you might run into other issues like mineral toxicity. Calorie bombs get a bad rep but the human diet revolves around them, the problem is many get them in the form of refined sugars and fats.
While it's obvious you are exagerating, no scientist would say that unless it's a "scientist". The right balance of nutrients as an average over time is the correct way.
Yeah. Actual scientists at NASA learned that eating the same gruel every day affected mental health, so folks on the ISS have a pretty varied diet. Even though todays coffee is yesterdays coffee.
Which I think is a good enough excuse to eat more than six fries as a serving.
