Yes and she says that. Her point is: Is there anything inherently more healthful about the Mediterranean diet (or our caricature of it)? Should we all adopt it? Her conclusion is probably not. If we are Danish, why not adopt a traditional Danish diet?; if we are Thai, why not adopt a traditional Thai diet?, etc. (assuming it served our ancestors well). For those of more mixed heritage, yes, it can be difficult. For all diets, though, she believes that an absence of sweets and vegetable seed oils will make for more positive health.
