I agree! I feel like my attempts to diet have generally made things worse for me in the long run. I hope that intuitive eating helps you! I've seen a few articles to that effect before, stating that most bodies have a point at which they become comfortable, and relatively consistent for weight.
That's an interesting parallel with modern farming. (Or even some things like "enriching" white flour - which is an attempt to add nutrients back in... most of which were present in the whole wheat flour, before it was processed into white flour.) I feel like we (general, human "we") put an awful lot of effort into "fixing" things that only need it because we keep breaking them as a matter of course. If we'd just stop breaking it in the first place, we wouldn't need to go to extraordinary lengths to shoddily repair it, and cause more problems as we do.
I think self-acceptance is one of the best things to strive for, tbh. I struggle with it sometimes, but am definitely trying.
