What we eat, how we eat, where we eat, and when we eat are deeply embedded cultural practices. Eating is also deeply connected to how we medicate. The multimillion dollar diet industry offers advice on how to eat for a better body and longer life, and avoiding harmful foods (or choosing healthy ones) is considered separate from consuming medicine-another multimillion-dollar industry.
