when it comes to nutrients, their problem is that they have too much nutrients, that's why we have obesity epidemics. all our basic foods are nutrient bombs that can actually kill some animals.
Even those heirloom varieties are products of 10000+ year long genetic engineering.
I'd argue that the biggest problem with obesity epidemics is the lack of public nutritional awareness, combined with an overload of junk food everywhere, loaded with refined sugar, refined grains, salt... all that. We're literally poisoning ourselves on a regular basis via ignorance and habit.
People don't know how to read labels at very basic levels, and think that all calories are the same. And when eating most meals, people are used to getting pleasant glycemic highs, then going in to deficits not long afterwards, making them crave more food; a vicious circle. The guy in the video points out why that wasn't a problem eating medieval bread, because the fibre content and resistant starches in that bread released energy gradually throughout the day.
not sure if it's relevant, but high fiber bread. like actually whole wheat bread, tastes terrible compared with modern bread (not American, but for example a baguette or paisano bread). they were popular in the 90s but they quickly devolved into normal white bread with some colour but basically the same bread nutritionally.
