We should not eat many things, not because we are 'leftists' but because real science shows they are unhealthy - poisons. There are 'fast acting' poisons, like arsenic, and slow acting poisons, like refined sugar. You wouldn't eat arsenic on a regular basis. Small amounts won't hurt you, but large amounts will kill you quickly.
This is the same with certain 'foods' in our diet. Avoid refined sugar. Avoid grains. Avoid processed foods. Avoid all soy products, unless fermented. Eat most everything else. Bacon, meats, butter, vegetables. I fry my eggs in bacon fat every day. I fry my French fries in lard.
I am not a 'leftist' but an educated consumer of food.
Yes, the food fetish market is pushed by leftists.

I agree completely! Politically I’m to the right of Attila The Hun, but I have become much healthier in recent years by eliminating certain foods from my diet (wheat, sugar, bad oils). We use extra-virgin olive or coconut oil exclusively. I get a kick out of so-called mainstream scientists saying we need to study this more—the fitness community has been aware of this for years now. This isn’t a fetish or political. God bless you if you can eat anything with no ill effects. My body just wasn’t that forgiving any more!
