A New Scientist Best Book of 2020 How is it that a baboon and a
blob of slime mould instinctively know what to eat for optimal
health, balancing their protein, fat and carb intake in perfect
proportions? In new, groundbreaking research that is transforming
our understanding of nutrition, animals from locusts to lions and
yes, humans too, demonstrate the remarkable science behind
appetite. Appetite communicates the body's nutritional needs to the
brain, and eating in accordance with your body's demands, like the
animals, should ensure optimal health, but the modern fast food
world wreaks havoc on this evolutionarily honed system. In several
landmark studies, Raubenheimer and Simpson prove that appetite can
be hacked – we can eat for optimal health, for increased
fertility or for a longer lifespan. Understanding the science of
the appetite offers tremendous power in shaping our bodies and
controlling our lives. ** Previously published as Eat Like the
Animals **

Great research! Important information and analysis.. The crux of it described in the one sentence, ":we have engineered ourselves a food environment that is incompatible with our nutritional biology "
