Harvard's Daniel Lieberman Criticizes Fad Diets and Ultra-Processed Foods

Original: Daniel Lieberman Warns Against ‘Hedgehog’ Diets and Ultra-Processed Foods at Book Talk

Harvard evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman warned against what he called 'hedgehog' diets—strict single-idea eating regimens—and criticized ultra-processed foods during a book talk at Harvard. He argued that extreme dieting approaches ignore evolutionary context, while modern processed foods drive obesity and chronic disease. The talk tied into his broader argument that mismatches between human evolution and modern lifestyles underlie many health problems.

Why now: Lieberman is promoting a new book and public-health debates about ultra-processed foods and fad diets are current.
