See, your doing it again Magsj. Your confusing liberal posh diet fads with health and intelligence. Eating like a Goop doesn’t mean your healthy. Eating what your favorite musician or movie star eats doesn’t either. People make the mistake of thinking beautiful people eating foods X, Y, Z earned, merited them their beauty and fame. It is far more likely to assume they just got the right DNA, tan right and have the right shampoos… as long as their eating doesn’t result in scurvy you won’t notice anything wrong.
An example… young attractive women get into modeling. At least half did absolutely nothing to “earn it”, just the draw of the genetic lottery. A good many turn anorexic, others take up smoking heavily… most all are “vegans”. What is the long term result? A bunch of sickly, wrinkly husky voiced women with emphysema. Did eating beets and jalapeno peppers while soaking in coffee baths do anything? Fuck no. Why they do it? They put it together from looking at what the most successful people do, and a touch of quackery, and try it,.and pass it on as a stupid fad.
This does not count as intelligence, quite the opposite actually. Your friends are unlikely to be the real British Intelligensia. I can only come to this conclusion based on your lack of philosophy oriented posts on this site. What is more likely is, these “intelligent people” are one and the same with your “posh friends” who come up with all sorts of stupid bullshit and argue over subjective frivolity, like the best wine, needlessly driving up the price of lower-medium priced vintages because there is a sudden demand for shit wine sellers secretly think is crap… but who are they to argue?
If Victoria Secret models said their best beauty tip to walking the runway and keeping their skin perfect was to eat a can of spam raw per day… every fucking stupid teenage girl would eat a can of spam each day, and women liberation authors would talk foul, denouncing the abrahamic religions for denouncing pork, and women would have spiritual retreats eating spam with praying to MAIA and ISIS, while wearing designer cloths.
Then they would all get fat and zits would pop everywhere. This is how stupid I honestly think you and your so very, very intelligent friends are.
Eating Japanese Green beans… sure hope your not eating it fermented. Its just sad and idiotic, pathetic.
