What is the point of food? Health? Energy? Fitness? Aesthetics?

I'm biased towards fat because it's damn tasty. I think the emphasis on animal products might be a little overblown but the weakness of nutritional science in the face of strong personalities and industry was horrifying. (It seems like there are so many contributing factors to the “Western diseases” of heart attacks, diabetes, etc - I had misgivings about pointing fingers elsewhere when “common sense” was so, not.)
