I stopped believing anything the government said about food decades ago. People with an agenda get in charge and they push their agenda.
Come to think of it, I don’t believe anything said by a government employee or politician either. Nothing. If they said it was raining I’d have to check myself.
That’s why we like non-pols like Trump
If they told me that the best way to drive from Wilmington, NC to California was to go west on I-40 I would head East across the Atlantic.
I grew up thinking real butter was terrible, that garbage in the bowl that was so much cheaper was what I should eat. Skim milk sucked, but it’s healthy, right? And every chance to eat low fat was better, right?
Then we did the research, or I should say, my wife did, does, and continues all this research. We now eat real butter, put heavy whipping cream in our coffee (which is excellent), save the bacon fat, etc. My kids are going to be twice as healthy as I was, and I was still pretty healthy.
I remember the first time someone told me the food pyramid was upside down, and I scoffed. Now I understand that that is true. Besides, who wants to eat 10-12 servings of grains EVERY FREAKING DAY? Ugh.
...and check to make sure one of them wasn't peeing on your leg.
I'm the same way. We have arrived at a point in time where the truth is indeed controversial. Every tidbit of life has to be divided into liberal or conservative by the media and pols. If Ted Cruz said he wanted to rid the world of hemorrhoids, every Democrat and liberal media spinner would demand there be free hemorrhoids for everyone.
