Where in the Constitution is this power delegated to the Federal government, I wonder?
What Do You Lack? Probably Vitamin D

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
Thanks...
But, but, but - it was the liberal 'fashion of the day' diet - how could it be wrong?
Outstanding advice, especially Number 3.
Calc magn is also a great natural sleep aid!
So, what to eat?
Well, you start the day with meat and fish and eggs. At lunch you again have some meat and fish and eggs. Dinner is a question ~ depends on your blood sugar readings because the diet of meat and fish and eggs pretty much puts your liver in charge of sugar production.
If the blood sugar is low, then you have some nuts (ground nuts, tree nuts, or whatever) for dinner ~ with maybe a snack of some processed rice product, and doults (nori).
If your blood sugar is high toward evening you skip dinner, and the snack.
There are some limitations in this diet. For example you don't want to pick up any of those pre-frozen, pre-breaded imitation fish do-hickeys. You should also skip over the breaded pork tenderloin, and the chicken fried steak, or the breaded chicken.
The best bet is just meat, just fish and just eggs ~ maybe sometimes an egg-salad.
Excellent post.
Perhaps you’ve read “Good Calories, Bad Calories” by Gary Taubes? Excellent history of the science of obesity - a truly amazing story.
It also coincides with the pervasive use of high fructose corn syrup, especially in soft drinks. Fructose metabolism generates the glycerol "spine" of triglycerides. Thanks for the comments & links.
Taubes’ book is one of the best science books I’ve ever read. It is comprehensive on the history of the science of obesity, the development of the misguided and fake consensus that was adopted by the McGovern committee and eventually by the US government, the flawed design of the obesity and heart disease studies that focused on dietary fat and cholesterol, the flawed reasoning from the data that was collected - straining to preserve orthodoxy - the continuously generated data indicating the prevailing orthodoxy was wrong, the resistance thereto, and the overwhelming irrefutable proof that it’s carbs, not dietary fat that makes you fat and causes heart disease, etc. It is a masterful work. You can find an excellent hour long lecture by Taubes on Google video. One of the interesting things he shows in his book is that the low carb, high protein diet was known to be effective in the early 19th century based solely on clinical observation - without any theoretical foundation to explain it. There was a famous and effective diet called the Banting diet in that period. Worked like a charm. Now the science explains at a molecular level metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and the role of insulin and blood sugar in fat deposition and mobilization, and in triglycerides, i.e., how and why these diets work and how the bad diets cause all of these problems.
There are lots of smart people working in this area, too many to name. I have seen a brilliant but almost completely extemporaneous presentation - 90 minutes worth - by Dr. Scott Connelly - on all of this. Some of it is here: http://progenexusa.com/Blog/post/Dr-Connelly-Talks-About-Insulin-Body-Weight-and-Energy-Production.aspx. He created MetRx years ago for bed ridden patients to help maintain their muscle mass, and now has a recovery product called Progenex that’s supposed to be “the bomb.”
Regards,
Thanks. Will order today. I did extensive research to come to the same conclusions. Thanks for the video links. Heading over to Amazon.
Add it to the pile of failed socialist experiments:
Food pyryamid

Medicare
Social Security
Public Lands Management
The US Border
Immigration
Gun Control
Government Schooling
Obamacare
I could go on, but I am conserving electrons this week - going green and all that...
Interesting, thanks.
My Great Aunt lived to 103. She was never fat, tho rounded. Last time I visited, her frig and freezer were full of Sarah Lee cakes, 31 Flavors ice cream, brownies, fruit cake — every imaginable goodie and absolutely NO fruits and vegs. When I offered to stock her frig with ‘healthy’ foods, she told me in no uncertain terms that she had eaten that way all her life and here she was, living alone at 97!
Made me think that I had been sold a bill of goods.
“A huge fundamental problem is that it’s all about experimentation, no proof of long term benefit.”
nonsense. They knew when they did it that they’d benefit midwestern state agriculture and the political influence that went along with it.
Recently they switched to ethanol.....
But it was no experiment - it was a sure thing - food pyramid generated campaign cash, just like they knew it would.
(You didn’t really think it was about people’s health did you?)
Hmmm. Does this remind anyone else of the dietary discussion in Sleeper?
I guess there aren’t any vegetables in your world.
“...not what our forefathers ate.”
Somebody published a cookbook with recipes from ca. 1776. Do you recall the name of the book?
