Nanny State PING!
Fat is good, sugar is bad. I don’t need Big Gov to tell me this. Also, Big Gov doesn’t like fat, even though it is healthy for us (minus the hydrogenated kind of course).
Every time I read things like this I crave ice cream or an Italian sub.

Ever since the government has started playing with our diets, obesity has been on the rise. Gee, connection? RME Just eat healthy food and skip the breads and deserts. Fruits, veggies and protein are great. Skip the processed foods. Those munchies in front of the tv will kill ya.
If you want to do anything to help yourself this year, do not consume sucralose (Splenda), in any way, shape or form.
An artificial sweetener, manufacturers love it because it is cheap, but continued use for about 12 weeks will have much the same effect as taking a potent antibiotic for that long.
It devastates the beneficial flora in the intestines, but does not effect enterobacter, strongly associated with weight gain, and likely other pathogens. And even after three more months with no sucralose in your diet, your intestinal flora will not be completely restored.
They, as much as anything, protect you from dangerous blooms of drug resistant bacteria.
You people are Sweet Enough , LOL
First step towards a sugar tax.
Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?
The Declaration of Independence also makes their intent clear: “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.”
This continues and increases beyond reason with the multitude of federal offices as the EPA, OSHA, IRS, FCC, DOC, DOA, and on and on. Why should the states and their citizens send a dollar to Washington only to receive less the half that in return while the remainder employs bureaucrats for the purpose of “to harass our people and eat out their substance.” Why? This must stop and we need a new revolution.
Oh sugar, honey honey. You are my candy girl, and you got me wanting you.
The Archies
I refuse.
What’s wrong with sammiches? If you disassemble a sammich, you’ve got some bread and some meat and some cheese and some veggies. I thought these things were good for you. Is there something about about stacking them on top of each other that makes them unhealthy? Same argument for hamburgers as far as I’m concerned.
About a year ago, the CDC published an article which I read in my (very leftist) newspaper. The CDC said, to wit: “We were wrong. Salt is ok. Eat all you want. It won’t hurt you.” ((This is probably available on the internet, may take some digging or maybe it’s been scrubbed.))
Since then, there has never been a peep, not another word and the war against salt continues. Now the gummint wants to add other food items to the war.
Apparently, the involved processors aren’t paying enough vigorish.
I pretty much ignore all these so called “experts” that are in reality borderline idiots with an excessive number of degrees and little or no common sense.
The liver metabolizes sugar in the liver just as it does alcohol. Do you know that you can get cirrhosis of the liver from sugar? Sugar in soda such as coke is causing our crisis with Diabetes.
Yes. The single most important thing you can do for your health is to never again in your life consume a slice of white bread, bowl of sugary cereal, glass of orange juice, or can of soda. High glycemic index carbohydrates kill.
Cut back on red meats, butter and other sources of saturated fat.
Nonsense. There were two or three small studies back in the 50's that showed an increased risk of heart disease from saturated fat, but they did not control for sugar. People who shoveled in donuts were killing themselves with sugar, but the fat got blamed. It has become the nutritional equivalent of an old wives' tale. Eat all the saturated fat you want, as long as you are active enough to burn off the calories. It's harmless.
Trans-fats are another matter, however. Biochemically, they are a lot farther down the path to manufacturing bad forms of cholesterol. Telling people to give up butter for margarine was perhaps the single worst piece of advice the nutrition nannies ever gave to the American public, which is really saying something.
Also, dietary cholesterol is meaningless to blood cholesterol. I eat almost nothing but meat, eggs, and lots of unprocessed vegetables, and my cholesterol level has never been lower nor my good-to-bad cholesterol ratio higher, since the very first time it was measured.
Lay off the salt shaker.
Good advice if you are already hypertensive, otherwise useless. There is no evidence that salt restriction improves the health of normotensive people, and some evidence that it is harmful.
Eat plenty of fruits and veggies.
Good advice. Veggies more than fruit, though, and lay off the sugary high-glycemic index tropical and citrus fruits. Instead, eat berries and stone fruits.
And don't worry about having an egg and an extra cup of coffee with your breakfast.
Good advice.
For much more on this topic, read Gary Taubes' book, "Why We Get Fat."
Sounds like a liberal diet. Could it be that this diet is what destroyed the part of the brain where common sense comes from?
Start with High Fructose Corn Sugar. The junk is poison and is in EVERYTHING. Getting the crap out of our diet would be a good move in my opinion.
Given the track record of these dietary guidelines, this make me nervous about eating eggs and drinking coffee. The idiots who write these things are almost 100% wrong...
Yet, Americans are living longer than ever.....
Dear govt, sincerely, f#ck off. I do my own research.
