Indian Country Today columnist John Mohawk, Ph.D said indigenous peoples should return to a diet of traditional foods to help combat diabetes and obesity brought on by consumption of modern foods. This transition would not be easy, Mohawk said, since members of the younger generation were raised on, and therefore greatly prefer, junk food. To overcome this, Mohawk suggests American Indians return to their roots and form support groups to help each other eat properly and share healthy recipes focusing on 'slow' or uncultivated foods.
