Feds: America Should Adopt ‘Plant-Based’ Diet
Free Beacon ^ | February 20, 2015 | Elizabeth Harrington

Posted on 02/20/2015 9:05:18 AM PST by Cheerio

The federal committee responsible for nutrition guidelines is calling for the adoption of “plant-based” diets, taxes on dessert, trained obesity “interventionists” at worksites, and electronic monitoring of how long Americans sit in front of the television.

The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) released its far-reaching 571-page report of recommendations to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Thursday, which detailed its plans to “transform the food system.”

So ironic that cows don’t “eat” grass. They consume grass and “eat” the bacteria and protozoa that “eat” the grass.

Much as we eat the animal that eats the grass.

Maybe we can eat tree bark the way they do in North Korea.

Something tells me that our LIV’s and MUY’s would put up with a lot of things from the Feds. But monitoring how long they sit and watch TV and eat their highly processed ‘junk food’ while doing so, might be more than they would or could handle.

Especially if the food police or ‘nutritional interventionalists’ came busting through their doors to deliver a ‘stinging rebuke’ and a plate full of brussels sprouts.

Just another button being pushed to get the ‘people’ to revolt and clear the decks for some good old ‘counter-revolutionary’ actions.

Any living being that has teeth should eat food that requires chewing. Any other kind of diet is an insult to our heritage.

Nothing in my pure foods diet has decreased my appreciation for excellent prime rib.

I agree. I am veggie by choice, not by mandate.

I do have a plant based diet. It is just pre-processed through the ungulate or cervidae all natural process.

Yes, but stating that would have sucked in the Lion King.

You eat no animal protein at all? That’s hard to believe.

My nephew just completed his nutrition training. He said that an actual “vegan” diet is a fairy tale, humans cannot get complete essential proteins just from plants.

Avoid Salt

Avoid Saturated Fat

Eat a high carb diet (food pyramid)

Oh, never mind.

Hitler did all kinds of “health” stuff as well. Worship of the body instead of enrichment of the soul.

“Cows eat grass and are therefore “Plant based”.”

Pigs eat corn, therefore bacon and rib eyes make up the Plant Based foundation of my diet.
