"Il est plus facile de changer la religion d'un homme que de changer son régime alimentaire"
— Margaret Mead

Simplified Meaning:
People often stick to their eating habits very strongly, even more than their personal beliefs or religion. Eating is something we do every day, and our favorite foods and ways of eating become a big part of our lives. For example, someone who has been eating meat for years may struggle to become a vegetarian, even if they really want to. Changing what we eat means changing routines, tastes, and even social interactions, which can feel very difficult. On the other hand, changing what we believe in spiritually can sometimes be easier because it doesn’t have the same everyday impact on our practical lives. So, if someone wants to adopt a healthier diet, they need to be very determined and make a strong effort to break their old habits.
