It's not uncommon for a drug or nutrient to have a seemingly positive effect on some surrogate marker of health—such as LDL cholesterol levels—without actually improving the health outcomes we care about most, like the incidence or mortality of heart disease.

How well do our perceptions of cost align with reality?

In many ways, monocultures are the product of an agriculture divorced completely from nature. Lacking biodiversity, they require numerous manufactured inputs. But how well does that system work? What are the repercussions of trying to grow food in a system so at odds with natural processes?

Some oils might be healthier than others. Extra virgin olive oil, for instance, is applauded for having more antioxidants than regular olive oil. But does that mean it’s a health food?
