Why do people on this site love nutrition and self-medication fads?

People are surprisingly thoughtless.

Because “science” doesn’t know everything, and people don’t want to wait until their options are scientifically-validated.

Yoga, breathing exercises, meditation and the like were once considered fads and derided by your ‘science’.
