Pretty much every kind of food the government has been pushing for generations has been bad for you.
My rule of thumb is to do the opposite of what some corrupt bureaucrat suggests.
Before the politically correct diet dictators got involved, the majority of people were thin and trim. Go back and look at old pictures or news clips. You probably won't find a fat person in an entire crowd. Now, it's hard to find a thin person anywhere.
I think the "government" diet is part of a population control sceme. People are rotting inside.
