We didn't set out to lower nutrient density, though, that was a side effect of ignoring it and focusing on other things which we thought were good.

Yup, that's true. And the things we were focussing on are good. They're just not everything.

That's what they said back when butter would kill you and margarine was the solution.

I'm saying we don't necessarily know good from bad and have fantastic amount of ignorance still about food and nutrition.

I got that part. So?
