In the spirit of Drynuary, I’d like to propose another health-oriented month of the year. Perhaps called Crunchuary or Pooptober, it would be 30 days in which Americans, for once, eat enough dietary fiber.
Currently, Americans only eat about 16 grams of fiber—the parts of plants that can’t be digested—per day. That’s way less than the 25 to 30 grams that’s recommended.
There are so many reasons why, from fast-food marketing to agriculture subsidies, but one contributing factor is the slow death of cooking, and the rise of the restaurant meal. Americans now spend more on food at restaurants than they do at grocery stores, but restaurant food tends to have even less fiber than the food we would otherwise eat at home.
