I’m not a dietician; just a retired RN, but even I know that it’s not fat, it’s carbs that cause all the food related health issues. The government has been following bad science for decades; time for a change.

I always eat meat, and have not used margarine (except under duress) for more than forty years.

Life is too short to eat margarine instead of butter.

wow. in moderation of course (one or two meals a day with no seconds): veggies, meat, butter and ice cream is now my steady diet. back to what my mom fed me as a kid, except we also did lots of potatoes and white rice too.

Exactly! It’s the carbs that are the bad boys big time!

I’m an ER porter and I have to laugh sometimes. Patients are discharged and often told “Exercise, eat right and be healthy!’’.

And then the RNs and Doctors go into their break rooms and chow down on doughnuts, pizza, ice cream and what ever other junk they eat.

Humans were created to be carnivores, you can tell by the teeth. Animal fat is good for you.

Eating fat doesn’t make you sick...being fat makes you sick.
-Dr Robert Atkins

Nice to see the science is returning. US food pyramid and recommendations has been a disgrace probably related to the money trail.

Dieticians seem to have been horriic purveyors of bad information on nutrition for decades. It’s probably because you’re not a dietician that you understand that.

The science is pretty clear that a high carb, seed oil, highly processed junk food, fake sugar, fake fat, and fake meat diet is worse for you than real food that your body knows what to do with.

We changed over to real butter 25+ years ago. We took hydrogenated oil out of our diet, except rare occasions, like cole slaw and potato salad - moderation is key. We eat eggs quite regularly. We try to eat lean cuts of beef, but pot roast is one of my weaknesses. I’m an expert in southern bbq, so there’s that weakness too. I make homemade lemon custard ice cream for dessert in an awesome Cuisinart ice cream maker. Life is good.

Southern bbq pretty much renders out most of the fat. That’s why things are tender, you render out the fat and connective tissue, low and slow.

Yes, but certainly not vegetarians.

And we absolutely weren't designed to eat everything "ultra-processed" like most Americans do

My BIL is a retired Radiologist and is 50 pounds overweight with type 2 diabetes. The family practice doctor my wife worked for 20 years weighed 300 pounds.
