Ah, but think of the enormous disadvantage non-English
speakers suffer since they can't do no-s... (doesn't
always translate so well).

Seriously, it's astonishing how many contradictory
studies there are in the field of human diet and
nutrition. My suspicion is that when you filter out
the random noise, the most significant advantage
people in healthier societies have is 1) they eat less
2) they move more. It is interesting to note that they
tend to do both of these without conscious diet or
exercise plans. While we're too far gone for that,
it's important to bear in mind. A successful system
should *seem* more like a habit or tradition (or a
useful activity) than a system, once you're used to
it, at least.
