"Even though [packaged cereals] may ... be 100% whole wheat, they are handled by the body very differently. When grains are ground into flour or puffed, they are digested more rapidly and more completely. This increases their glycemic index and leaves fewer leftovers from the friendly flora down in your colon" - if I were to write a book on nutrition, if would be about how it is affected by food processing.

"...giving up meat entirely is an effective way to combat childhood obesity, pointing to population studies demonstrating that people eating plant-based diets are consistently thinner than those who eat meat." - eating vegetables is much harder way of obtaining calories than eating meat.
