Sugar is the culprit not fats.
Doe anyone really follow the stupid govt recommendations? They may listen to the doc but not some food pyramid.
Carbs and processed foods are cheaper, which is why most people go for em.
The article points out that too much sugar is not good either but that has been ignored.
Unfortunately, my daughters and daughter-in-laws follow gov’t regulations to a point that I worry about my grandkids.
The food pyramid is inverted.
We humans used to be hunters and farmers. With those two occupations we could eat anything we wanted.
Also, people didn't live to their 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's with such regularity as today. So, on the "younger" bodies, that kind of fattening didn't occur.
I wonder just how long a human can comfortably live. We CAN'T live forever, so it's just probably how long the heart will last.
THEN the question arises: can we opt for another heart so that we can live longer? Hmmmmm.
Processed foods are really seldom cheaper.
E.g., compare the per pound price of a box of breakfast cereal with a dozen eggs.
Plenty of the healthiest veggies are sold for less than a dollar a pound, and many meat cuts are available for $2 a pound.
