Rankings have always been very eye-catching, even the nutrition of food should be divided into high and low levels. Not only ordinary people like to watch food nutrition rankings, but also some well-known media will make a food ranking to attract public attention. In my impression, it seems that both National Geographic magazine and BBC have made food lists.

But in my opinion, this kind of food is useless for nutrition ranking, and even misleads the public's diet. The reason is very simple. Humans are not single food animals, but omnivorous animals, which need a variety of nutrients and are indispensable. For example, meat is the most nutritious food for a pure meat-eating lion. But for people, eating only meat and not eating anything else will kill people, because people need many kinds of nutrients, and they can't be short of anything. No food in nature can provide all the nutrients needed by human beings, so we need to eat a variety of foods. In that case, what's the point of making a nutrition ranking list?

the most nutritious food is not without it, but only for special people. The best food for babies within 6 months is breast milk, and there is no one. For adults, the most nutritious supplement should be the total nutritional formula used in hospitals. It contains all the nutrients the human body needs, and after eating it, it ensures a comprehensive and balanced nutrition. But I bet that no one wants to eat that stuff for a long time except patients who have to need nutritional support. Because everyone has an appetite and wants to eat delicious food, this spiritual desire for food is one of the most basic instincts of human beings.

Although there is no most nutritious natural food (except breast milk), there are healthy foods and healthy eating habits. Natural foods that meet human nutritional needs are healthy foods, such as coarse grains, vegetables and fruits, fish, shrimp, eggs and milk, and various meats. With healthy food, there must be a healthy way to eat, and the cooking method with low salt, low fat and low sugar can ensure that healthy ingredients become healthy food. Finally, balanced nutrition, not picky eaters, even criticized pork, as long as it is eaten in moderation, it is also beneficial to health.
