=Why do we have to defend food?=

Defend food from processing -- the food industry.
We don't need all this processing to eat the food. But the food industry needs to process it so they can charge us more and make more of a profit. So don't buy processed food. Just buy raw carrots and stuff.

Defend food from the science of nutritionism.
Focus on nutrients which is how science works. Beta carotene. Vitamins etc. But food is more than the sum of the nutrients. We should eat a carrot not beta carotene. Focus on nutrients also gives an edge to the food industry.
