Why do fancy restaurants fill their meals with junk oils, sugars, chemical preservatives, and worse?

What’s the difference between education and indoctrination? Is our education system broken, or is it operating as intended?

What does the concept of longevity mean to you?

Are we blaming red meat and butter for the problems vegetable oil caused? Contrary to popular belief, there is no correlation between either saturated fat or animal fat consumption and heart attacks.
