> one has to ask what is behind it.

The human body is stupid and makes a lot of mistakes. It's very obvious to me that our bodies and minds were not built for their current environment.

When someone's brain has a bug in which is has seizures, we do not ask them "what's behind" their epilepsy medication. No, we understand their brain has a problem that should be fixed. There is no ulterior perspective, some secret hidden ability they might possess. It's just bad.

But when it comes to food, we forget this is how we view things. In it's place comes moralizing.
