It’s just a different journey of a person discovering that eating healthier feels good. Like the american food he talks about all has a ton of oil and sugar, both aren’t healthy and fat for example makes you feel sluggish.

So then he goes and tries other cultures, figures out that some people in europe eat the same food but with less sugar and less fat.

He could have researched what americans ate decades ago, I bet there was plain unsweetened corn flakes and bread, maybe even whole wheat bread. Stuff like that totally is healthy and good for you, just not fried and topped with sugar.

In europe we are on the way to add even more fat and sugar as well, it’s the most delicious flavors after all - but having that kind of fun every morning comes at a toll.

Also he says that he “just doesn’t like the fatty and sweet food”, which I don’t fully accept, he just isn’t used to this kind of diet and isn’t used to feeling shitty afterwards.

You’ll feel better eating healthier is my point.
