I feel dumb asking this, but...

@Blackie Sorry but that reads more like something pushed by a celebrity who knows nothing about biology, paid by Amazon to advertise food supplements no-one in an affluent society should need.(And few in a poor society could afford.)

Amazon is merely a box-shifter, an on-line supermarket selling anything it can, without caring about need, desirability, source, safety or quality.

We are NOT evolved to exist on just meat or just liquids, including "supplements", as replacements for proper meals. We can live as omnivores or herbivores (vegetarians) by choice; but we need a proper diet, not commercial fads pushed by on-line supermarkets and fast-food chains.

We are better off eating a reasonable breakfast, and no I don't mean a frying-pan's worth of bacon and eggs; and a cooked mid-day meal, although that is not always practical for working people who would therefore need a main meal in the early (not late) evening.

Snacking is bad but it does depend on what - fruit is better than cakes, sweets or beefburgers.

There is a lot of misinformation about food and nutrition - and it is written and disseminated by interests like the fast-foods, supplements and fad diets manufacturers whose profits depend on encouraging people to eat badly.

@ArishMell I read Amazon and I knew where you were going. Not all companies selling on Amazon are globalized brain washed puppets. Amazon was a convenient suggestion but realistically you don’t have to have anything at all, just fast then. And yes, you do have to supplement unless you’re growing in your own food and enriching the soil beforehand. What u fail to realize is that our grown food no longer carries the same amount of nutrients it did 50 yrs ago. The land is over farmed and GMOed. You’re not giving your body what it needs to repair itself . Our ancestors everywhere were omnivores

@Blackie I realise a lot of foodstuffs now sold may be of low quality, but that will depend on where you buy them. Not everyone can grown their own foods, obviously, but most people can shop reasonably well.

However, you suggested an extremely limited diet plus "supplements"; which is a far worse choice.

Over-cropping of monocultures has been recognised as bad, for years, by farmers themselves. There is now a rather vague term, "regenerative farming". It has no specific definition but often means only what farms had done for generations before massive industrialising of them: i.e. rotating crops between plant types and fallow, rotating land between arable and grazing, and using the animals' manure to re-fertilise the land. There are also some experiments with sowing without deep ploughing.

Genetic-modification does not make the edible parts of plants harmful. It is to increase the plant's resistance to disease, insect damage or drought; or the yield. It is only an artificial way to do what farmers have been doing for centuries by selective-breeding and I would have no worries about such plants. I worry more what the later processors, between farm and shop, might do to them.

That drought-resistance is becoming increasingly urgent across much of the Northern Hemisphere, too.

I should say I am not in the foods trade - but I try to understand foods and faming!

@ArishMell let me be more clear. I meant supplement with a non fast breaking product only the days you fast. I’m Not suggesting You constantly fast and forego eating and supplement instead. And yes American gluten is that bad along with oils, fake food and fried foods are your worst enemies.

@Blackie Thanky ou for clarifying that.

Gluen is gluten, simple as that, so what are the American manufacturers doing to it, or to to foods that contain flour?

Fried foods have long known to be best avoided, or eaten only occasionally; but really, I think it's overall diet that counts more.
