H.E.double hockey sticks NO.

“We must admit that our opponents in this argument have a marked advantage over us. They need only a few words to set forth a half-truth; whereas, in order to show that it is a half-truth, we have to resort to long and arid dissertations.” (Frederic Bastiat)

I think that the gov’t pushing people to eat more carbs and less fat and protein has caused some of the problem. Everyone is different, and I know I do much better on a high protein diet. I have seen some people literally have no fat in their diet and I tell them that their brain needs some fat to function.
