The New American Food Pyramid

[Ramasta9]

And who controls the FDA/USDA and mainstream science, education and media? Big Pharma  Enjoy your premature death.

You have to compare the new food pyramid to the USDA "MY PLATE" Version though, not the old Pyramid of the 70s. 

I feel like no Version really gets it, the 2010s version doesnt focus enough on healthy fats and the carb sources suggested are probably not the best.

I was already eating like that. If you listen to your body your body will tell you what you need and when you get your healthy fats you won't crave those unhealhty ultra processed foods anymore.

I get many leftists want people not eating meat, but the biggest health lie told the last 50 years is that stuffing yourself up with carbohydrates is the best way towards optimal health.  It's harder to produce high profit margin, mass market cheap food when you rely more on perishables, which all meats, fruits, dairy, and vegetables ultimately are by comparison.  

Easier to stuff a bunch of carbs together with seed oils, throw in some MSG to make it addictive, and package it with a 2 year shelf life.  Not even against eating bugs if they can make it taste good with the proper macros however. There is a need to provide inexpensive food to the lower classes. We can't have an entire planet of people eating paleo/keto diets because meat is a resource intensive thing to produce. 

The reality of the situation is few americans will eat this diet... most will default to their pizza, chips, candy bars, hot pockets, donuts, and french fries. The internet tends to produce small groups of loud individuals who end up in their own echo chambers circle jerking each other... this is the vegans, keto eaters, mediterranean diets, etc... the masses just eat what they crave, and consume what the tee vee says to, with their chips and beer in front of their dad bods during their NFL games.
