As if most of us follow these guidelines.
We are more driven by advertising or the medical community.
The guidelines are problematic in two ways:
1. When we realize that our diets of junk food and high-carb crap is making us sick, what we switch to us usually the low-fat, high-carb diet of the government guidelines. And discover that their “healthy” diet makes things worse. So we give up thinking that diet makes no difference. The truth that we never discover, because of the low-fat government guidelines, is that diet is critical to getting healthy, but that a healthy diet is low-carb, high-fat.
2. These guidelines determine what our kids get fed in school. And our kids are getting sick because of them.
