No wonder we have so many waswasas to top it off... we've become easy targets for all sorts of ills since we have no clue about the workings of basics anything anymore - not even our own health and diet. How many of us collect wheat, process it and then bake our own bread? Try that for a change and see how much effort is required to produce a single loaf. And then think about how much you're eating and the actual effort you are putting into that food - this should help us eat more balanced insha'Allah.
