Most of my thinking has been based around the premise that your Apple Watch will eventually be testing the nutrients in your blood. Then you’ll supplement to fill these gaps. But the reality of the complexity of plants, your gut, etc. we are barely beginning to understand. Does your fiber supplement contain the correct types of fiber to feed a diverse microbiome? Or are you just taking one type of fiber. Endocrine disrupting compounds … new thing. Science on infant development … new thing.
I think we should keep real food on the table. Further, we can improve our food systems to support a healthy future.
I think we will get back to “some cooking for many.” You don’t always have to make your own lunch, and maybe we’ll take the opportunity to make eating social again. But it can’t be Sweetgreen (at least not in its current form.) Can food become local again? Not just farmers market for the privileged local, but a core part of trusted society?
