Today we discuss our take on nutrition. How much is enough? Can you get too much? Over the last century the approach to nutrition seems to be solidly rooted in seeking out deficiency. At the same time we evolved and in a world of scarcity. Perhaps it's time to move the conversation from combatting nutritional deficiency to one centered dealing with chronic overnutrition.
