I used to be uninterested in foods like broccoli, apples, oranges, and blueberries, but after a transition period I love them and have them every day. I'd like to hear anyone's story who's also been able to integrate more of these foods.

Why YSK: many countries have issues with weight, such as mine with 74% of US adults being overweight or obese. The global weight loss industry is over $200 billion yearly, with many influencers, pills, and surgeries promising quick results with little effort. These often come with side effects, or don't work long term.

Studies suggest filling yourself with foods low in caloric density and high in fiber, like fruits and vegetables, can help reach and maintain a healthy weight. It's good to have these foods available in our living spaces to make the choice easy. Your taste buds will likely adapt to love them if you're not there yet.

This short video shows a beautiful, fluffy cow being very lowing with her human! I don't want to see these animals harmed so I'm not going to eat cattle.

I'm up to 70g of natural fiber a day! I'm plant-based though so it's easy for me when most of my foods are whole plant foods.

Hey! I made this content and was made aware of Lemmy by a friend two days ago. I decided to join and wanted to enter with a bang by sharing some of my OC.

Hi! This documentary touches on personal as well as systematic change, so it's not blaming the ordinary person. It also focuses on the other areas of sustainability, such as deforestation, land use, fresh water use, biodiversity loss, and ocean dead zones. It acknowledges it's far behind burning fossil fuels for emissions.

Definitely give it a watch!

Hey! Have you had a chance to watch the documentary? It touches on both personal and systematic opportunities to reduce our impact of food.

Also, some industries are so wasteful and resource-intensive that there's really not a good way to reduce our impact to reasonable levels, other than swapping away from that food. For example, studies show that rearing cattle for meat is extremely inefficient, even on the most-efficient farms, when compared to things like legumes, per gram of protein.

A great source (other than the documentary) to demonstrate this: Reducing food's environmental impact through producers and consumers

Eating Our Way to Extinction takes us on an adventure to multiple different countries, exploring the impacts of our eating choices on our climate and the environment. With Kate Winslet narrating, beautiful drone footage, and an original score, it’s the most powerful documentary on the environment I’ve ever seen.

For those that have seen it - what did you think?

Why YSK: fiber is important for optimal human health. It helps us avoid diabetes, heart disease, colon cancer, obesity, and other diseases. This is particularly important in developed countries such as mine (USA) that are suffering greatly from these diseases.

The recommended daily fiber intake is 25g for women and 38g for men in the USA, and 95% of us don't meet this amount. This suggests an urgent need for us to increase our daily fiber intake, which can be achieved by swapping out ultra-processed foods and animal foods that are void of fiber with whole plant foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.

I'd be interested to see if this strategy works the other way around

I'm thinking of coming back to Diablo IV but don't want to if I still have to sort through 30 rares after each dungeon.
