The New American Food Pyramid

[Ramasta9]

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

[Jannes]

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.

@Jannes Yup haha, Southpark 'predicted' this food-pyramid-shift years ago!

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.

Let's just give up and leave it how it was then 💀

Even better!

Always something with these scientists... every ten years they change something on this shit...

I made a video on my take on the pyramid:

Bare with me I’m experimenting with YT and speaking in front of camera. Hopefully I’ll improve going forward.

@freddyteisen Thank you, and nice salt lamp!

I would have my disagreements with the message at some points but good on you for trying yourself out in front of the camera, you have a very calm voice and dont shy away to speak to the camera. Its nice to listen to you talk.

@Ramasta9 I respectfully disagree that plant protein is more powerful than animal protein.

Animal protein is significantly more bioavailable; our bodies recognize it more easily and can use it more efficiently.

It’s interesting how humans have sought after and thrived on animal nutrition for thousands of years, but today it’s controversial to say it’s essential.

So in my opinion we’re going in the right direction with these new guidelines.

But, your body your choice!:)

Nope that's misinformed / false science. Plant-protein is absolutely more bio-available and superior for the human species. We need amino acids, not protein which the body gets from every single piece of plant-food and turns into protein. I have 3 friends who recently died from carnivore fad diet in last 5 years so no thanks, we are not felines, we are not bears, we are biologically closest to apes which are "Frugivores" period.

They never thrived on animal nutrition, they barely survived, any sane human chooses the fruit tree over meat or need to hunt. Its only at times of drought and scarcity or due to cataclysmic events we were forced out of our natural habitats and forced to eat the wrong foods and meat (hence the need to cook to digest it and make it palatable) otherwise you get really sick and die fast from raw meat. I've seen some psychopaths out there who eat raw meat, some of the most negative and evil people I've ever met, I wonder why... They are convinced they are cats.

Put a baby in a room and put a steak, a rabbit and a piece of fruit, see what it eats and what it avoids and what it plays with. 

Not sure how many times I have to post this but its very very obvious what we are originally meant and designed to eat.

Here we go again. 

We are "cookivores". We adapted to cooked food, thats why our teeth are so pathetic. Thats why our digestive track is so small. 

[freddyteisen]

@Jannes I deeply appreciate the feedback!

You are right here, tho "significantly" is relative and depends on context. The lowest the intake and the highest the need, the more bioavailability matters. Above a certain threshold it does not really matter.

This is false, but also depends on context. Given someone eats enough protein, plant protein has been associated with better health outcomes. But they're definitely not more bioavailable.

The context is that nowawadays most people, especially non-athletes, get enough protein. And there can be such a thing as too much protein, apparently. Too-frequent and too-intense IGF-1 and mTOR stimuli may be bad for longevity (despite good for performance).

 

Watch this masterclass from Prof. Luc van Loon:

I fully agree with this.

Quote

Chimpanzees and bonobos are our closest animal relatives, sharing about 98.8% of our DNA, and are omnivores eating mostly plants (fruits, leaves, seeds) but also insects, honey, eggs, and small animals, including other primates, with humans differing mainly by incorporating cooked foods, grains, and dairy.

While they are omnivorous, animal-derived calories make up a very small percentage of their total energy intake compared to humans:

• Chimpanzees: ~3–6% of calories from animals (mostly insects);
• Bonobos: ~1–2% of calories from animals.

So we can't say we are NOT adapted to eat meat, but we can say we are adapted to eating mostly plants; predominantly fruits 

[PsychedelicEagle]

Also, very interestingly: Fruit typically makes up 60% to 80% of a wild chimpanzee's diet.

[Ramasta9]

@PsychedelicEagle You could say we are 'opportunistic omnivores-frugivores, but just like most apes, we prefer the fruit over any other food, and if there is no fruit or fruit trees, we resort to the secondary options, animals being the last resort. This book goes into depth about our true evolutionary path, how we left the forest about 200 thousand years ago and our brains stopped expanding and why we experience premature puberty, excessive aggression, carnal desires, and many modern diseases we suffer from today https://archive.org/details/returntobrainofe0000gynn

Summary: An exploration of our fall from the pinnacle of human evolution 200,000 years ago and how we can begin our return. Explores recent neurological and psychological research on the brain and the role of plant biochemistry in human brain expansion. Explains how humanity's prehistoric diet change led to a neurodegenerative condition characterized by aggression and a fearful perception of the world. Outlines a strategy of raw foods, tantric sexuality, shamanic practices, and entheogens to reverse our mental degeneration and restore our advanced abilities. Over a period of a million years the human brain expanded at an increasingly rapid rate, and then, 200,000 years ago, the expansion abruptly stopped. Modern science has overlooked this in order to maintain that we are at the pinnacle of our evolution. However, the halt in brain expansion explains not only recently uncovered anomalies within the human brain but also the global traditions of an earthly paradise lost and of humanity's degeneration from our original state of perpetual wonder and joy. Drawing on more than 20 years of research, authors Tony Wright and Graham Gynn explore how our modern brains are performing far below their potential and how we can unlock our higher abilities and return to the euphoria of Eden. They explain how for millions of years early forest-dwelling humans were primarily consuming the hormone-rich sex organs of plants--fruit--each containing a highly complex biochemical cocktail evolved to influence DNA transcription, rapid brain development, and elevated neural and pineal gland activity. Citing recent neurological and psychological studies, the authors explain how the loss of our symbiotic fruit-based diet led to a progressive neurodegenerative condition characterized by aggressive behaviors, a fearful perception of the world, and the suppression of higher artistic, mathematical, and spiritual abilities. The authors show how many shamanic and spiritual traditions were developed to counteract our decline. They outline a strategy of raw foods, tantric sexuality, shamanic practices, and entheogen use to reverse our degeneration, restore our connection with the plant world, and regain the bliss and peace of the brain of Eden"--Provided by publisher

Every time i seem to return to a high fruit-based diet, all the wonder and joy comes back, like I am on a psychedelic 24/7, it all starts to make sense. People often like to throw the sugar high, but its completely different than a sugar high, its simply the natural bliss and high we feel when we consume the correct and ideal fuel for our bodies, especially after the (detox period) is over, which is where most people panic and struggle and revert back to old foods, habits and patterns and then blame the diet and say it failed them and made them worse. Intense sexual urges subsides, aggression fades, fear fades, feel like a child again.
