Consider, for just a minute that about 25% of all calories we eat comes from added sugar, which contains nothing besides empty calories. Right off the bat cross out 1/4 of your diet as a potential for vitamins.
If we do not take into consideration those who do not drink alcohol at all, those that drink at least a couple drinks a week consume 25% of all calories from alcohol. Sooo between the sugar and the booze, the average person is getting approx. 1/2 of his daily calorie input from nutritional blanks.
More calories in a typical modern diet come from processed fats: salad oils, cooking oils and fats added to almost everything! Such fats contain only traces of vitamins and may constitute another 30% of empty bullsh$t calories.
Put all those together and you can see that the same technology that keeps us fat, happy and entertained has also made it possible to waste almost 80% of our daily diets on food that couldn't keep a sewer rat alive and healthy.
