TIktok has long been the cradle of curious and often polarizing food tendencies. Among the last, there is the “Human Kibble”, literally “chochets for humans”. The Creator William Kim (@Myfoodisme2) launched it, who in a video Having become viral he showed his personal recipe: a mix of Ben 19 ingredients, including vegetables, legumes, whole grains, tofu and chicken, All finely chopped, cooked together and served in a large metal bowl. The comparison with dog food was inevitable for many users, but the simplicity and methodical approach of the video have hit the mark, attracting beyond 6 million views. Kim claims to follow this food scheme every day for five years, and among the comments there are those who applaud the practicality and those who find it grotesque. But beyond the instinctive reaction, the “Human Kibble” diet raises interesting questions: is it really an effective idea to simplify daily nutrition, or is it risks transforming the relationship with food into a mechanical exercise?
The benefits of Human Kibble: efficiency and nutrients
From a nutritional point of view, Kim’s recipe is not negligible at all. Contains a variety of Proteins, fiber, vitamins and mineral salts. According to the dietician Gisela Bouvier, interviewed by New York Postthe practice of batch cooking, or preparing large quantities of food in advance, can be a valid tool for Eating more aware and balanced. The repetition of the meal can help those who have difficulties with the variety or with the time to dedicate to the kitchen, and finely chop the vegetables makes some foods easier to consume even for those who normally avoid them. The killer represents, in this sense, a concrete response to decision -making linked to food, an increasingly widespread theme in our time: what do I cook today? How varied feeding without crazy? For those who love routine and seek efficiency, this solution represents a valid compromise.
The limits: boredom, rigidity and social isolation
But all that glitters is not gold. The risk, Bouvier still underlines, is that of Reduce the gesture of eating to a mechanical actwithout pleasure. Repeat the same meal every day It can bring to boredom, decrease satisfaction and, in the long run, compromise adherence to a balanced diet. In addition, such a rigid mix risks excluding entire categories of food, such as fruit, dairy products, dried fruit, with potential nutritional deficiencies. Then there are psychological and social implications. Associating your identity too strictly with what you eat (the name of the “Myfoodysme” account is emblematic) can generate a rigid and not very flexible attitude. Finally, always and only follow a single food formula can compromise moments of conviviality, like dinners with friends, Special parties and occasions. The invitation of the experts is therefore not to demonize the trend, but to approach it with balance: vary ingredients, use aromatic herbs, listen to your body and, above all, also allow yourself the taste of living and sharing food.
