After hundreds of hours script-writing, dozens upon dozens of recording takes across THREE camera phones, staying up bleary-eyed 2AM witnessing FCPX crashes, kernel panics, and corrupted project libraries amidst (pending) failing hard drives - I hereby present nevertheless my very first (serious) video dissertation.

"Climate change", droughts, end of the world prophecies, social justice warriors, metabolic syndromes, diabesity, mental illnesses, "this" inequality, "that" inequality, oh my. What a great time for us to live in.

Yes, I have been very camera-shy for the last four long tears. But the last hundreds of hours were decidedly spent at presenting myself and my thoughts - right upfront, frank and stern. All at imploring how we can address all the above from a decentralised perspective of Nutritional Science.

This is controversial for a reason. Because enquiring against Nature itself, likely will not involve comfort. No matter who you are, irrespective of "sides" you're in. I believe there is something we can all learn here; for our own "selves".

Note and point of trivia: everyone has a "starting" point of showcasing their very own dissertation to the wide online audience. Likewise, this is my very first attempt at presenting, showcasing, editing and producing single handedly. Encompassing all skills amassed both individually and professionally; amidst structural impositions.
