"To me, it’s far more insulting and limiting to suggest that we are all identical to each other, carbon copies, interchangeable, fungible. That’s boring, and it’s frankly incorrect. Anyone with eyes (and taste buds) can take a look around and see that differences exist in the dietary habits and cuisines of different ethnic groups. These differences aren’t all arbitrary. There are hints at real physiological consequences for how we metabolize different foods."

Love this quote. Let's celebrate our differences and understand that we each have unique dietary requirements that allow us to be at our best. I'm constantly reminded that diet books and related nutrition "experts" must tout "the diet" suitable for all, as that's how to get broad appeal and have a successful business. The real business is exploring our unique nutritional needs, learning what makes us most healthy (N=1), and refining and embracing that WOE as a lifestyle. The vegan, plant-based, carnivore, keto wars are really a sham when one understands this dynamic. Good stuff.
