When do we get teeth that aren’t made of a substance that our food literally dissolves? Seems like a major design flaw.

Think that speaks more to the quality of the food.

The quality of the food only matters because our bodies can’t handle it. If we could improve our teeth (and other body parts) to be more resilient and adapted to available food resources then it wouldn’t be considered poor quality anymore.

Yeah what unprocessed food that people regularly eat causes enough damage to dissolve teeth a noticable amount in one lifetime?

It’s not really the food dissolving the teeth.
Bactria feed food remnants and product bacteria, mostly sugars, and product acid that dissolves tooth enamel.

Acidic food can dissolve your teeth. I’m aware of the involvement of bacteria but I didn’t want to go into too much detail for this one-liner. The point is our teeth are very poorly designed to stay intact in the face of the dietary environment they are used for.

Statements like this make me question why I even bother to subscribe to this forum.
Every post here is fully of pop pseudo-science, double-digit sample sizes, correlation/causation fallacies, double-digit sample sizes, confirmation biases, conflicts of interests, fucking double-digit sample sizes, and every other fallacy, bias, and problem you could think of. Where’s the real science with actual provable conclusions, perfectly peer-reviewed, and has an appropriately large sample size?!
