Idealist, what?
You said something dumb, that the quality of food is determined by its calorie count, and I pointed it out. I am unaware of any credible expert who would support such a claim, but if you can provide backup for this, please do so.
As I said, the quality of food is it's ability to extend energy the longest and fatten an animal up for the next lean period. Animals traditionally gravitate toward the most calorie dense foods available. Animals who are too narrow in their diet with poor quality foods (not calorie dense) spend all day grazing, while animals who do eat calorie dense foods spend their days chasing their foods. Guess which animal we were?
We crave fatty, salty and sweet foods for a reason. They are, in nature, the highest quality foods.
Calorie dense foods ARE high quality. But like everything else, are bad in excess. Just as relaxation is GOOD for you, but bad in excess.
Now we have an abundance of both, and no self control.
