The Great Food Extinction: How Our Diet Got Dangerously Small! It's triggering hidden crises in our health and well-being. Physically: Our gut microbiomes have lost significant diversity, linked to rising cases of IBS, allergies, and obesity. Modern wheat can have 30% less protein and iron than 1960s strains, contributing to micronutrient deficiencies that affect billions globally. Mentally: Diets lacking diverse, nutrient-rich foods (like those packed with brain-boosting polyphenols from wild berries) are being linked to issues like depression and inflammation. Culturally: This homogenization means we're losing unique flavours (like the 95% of apple varieties vanished since 1900) and centuries-old recipes, leading to a silent erosion of our culinary heritage.

Looks like humanity traded a whole rainforest of food for a few supermarket aisles! We're winning convenience, but losing our taste for true resilience! 🍎🍔
