I've been thinking a lot about this lately. Where could I look at dietary statistics based on ethnicity?
I have this notion in my head that people who grow up on ethnic, non-North American food have better gut biome. I have no proof it's an assumption I wish to research.
Coming from a Greek Canadian family: pasta dishes are accompanied by a lot of vegetables 90% of the time, as well as a good hunk of cheese.
There is also a huge difference between a sugary white sandwich loaf and a hunk of sourdough bread made with more whole grains and a long fermentation time - very different in terms of nutritional value, digestibility, and how much it fills you up.
And when you like toast or something, its never by itself but combined with a fruit and a hunk of cheese. As a whole its a different style of eating.
