All you got to do is this.
Don't eat ultra-processed foods.
And I'll give you an easy way of identifying what an ultra-processed food is.
And let's suppose he could do that.
Which probably not.
He probably wouldn't.
But let's suppose he did.
He probably would weigh less than otherwise.
And if that's a good outcome, fine.
And if you say, but aha, ultra-processing.
Now, David, you've shown that ultra processing, at least in your father, causes greater waking.
No, I have shown no such thing.
What I've shown is that telling my dad to not eat ultra processed food led to this outcome.
If I said to you, I want you to only eat foods that are in the peripheral aisles of the grocery store, not that you get in the central aisles of the grocery store,
And it turned out that you wound up there by eating lots of fish and meat and eggs and et cetera, and not lots of cinnamon rolls, maybe you would weigh less.
Does that mean if I move the cinnamon rolls to the periphery of the grocery store, they become better for you?
Of course not.
So just because telling you to eat a certain way leads to an outcome and just because I can label things as being there doesn't mean there's anything to do with the causal effect.
So there's a man named Schwartz, and he has a book called A Fly in the Ointment.
It's a great, funny book.
