In recent years, we have been told that we need to decolonize our bookshelf. In fact, it is our plate that needs decolonizing. In the early 20th century, pioneering dentist and researcher Dr. Weston Price studied the effects of traditional and modern diets on peoples around the world. Dr. Price found that traditional, nutrient-dense food produced not only the most healthy teeth but also the greatest physical health, intelligence, and emotional well-being. He observed that the consumption of “foods of modern civilization,” usually brought by the white man, led to dental decay and other health problems among the same groups.
