Extensive data going back 40 years supports it, going back to the Oslo study in 1980 and the WHI around the same time. Framingham study hasn’t shown a decrease in fat intake, in fact it’s increased slightly in the last 30 years.You have no study to prove that first sentence. In fact, the cuasaion and association of heat disease with saturated fat are weak and tenuous at best.
So if people don’t follow them because they’re wrong, then you really can’t blame them for current poor national health. You have a face validity problem here.People don't follow the recommendations because they are wrong. People won't follow any recommendations they don't wish to but it isn't about what people will follow or not.
Of course it’s about what people will follow. Otherwise this whole discussion is meaningless and RFK Jr has no solution.
Wow. Yeah, I can just imagine the USDA thugs showing up to push around some of the largest and richest corporations in the world. Sounds totally legit.Big Ag and Corporates that are responsible for the food supply are pressured, sometimes even threaten, by the government to provide the foods that they demand and in accordance with the My Plate recommendations.
Do you have any substance to this conspiracy?
Convenience food and ultra processed food isn’t necessarily more expensive but it is easier and tastier. Those are VERY strong market forces.When the grocers in America provide foods, cheeply, that meed those recommendation, i.e., sugary cerials, processed bke goods, and everything having high frutose corn syrup included, along with pounds of added sugar, how exactly are Americans to make the right choices?
Companies are in business to make money and if the consumer demands these products, they’re going to make them.
Hard to find a grocery store that doesn’t have fresh fruits and vegetables, but those aren’t as tasty as chips and Mt Dew.They are net even given the opportunity to make good choices. The wisdom goes, if you want to eat healthy, shop the perimeter of the stores. But that isn't even save any longer.
They’re clearly not the only options. This is pretty absurd.When the My Plate requiments are the only options, or are 95% of the options that the citizens get, the argument becomes moot.
