I said that writing about these topics would go viral and now think possibly "dangerous". The "warm" conversations here is a foreshadow of things to come. And that is with people that think mostly the same way as you.
In this one you touched a little on balanced diets. The previous food pyramid actually shows where the issues with obesity and diabetes lie. Heavy on the grains like bread, cereal, rice and pasta. All starches which turn to sugar and is stored as fat. It also equated fats and oils with sweets. This was the US gov standard for many years. I even read where this program was similar to what they gave beef cattle just before going to market so that they would gain weight fast. Now at the VA they are pushing the plate chart with equal portions of grains and veggies and equal portions of fruits and proteins. Dairy is off by itself. Because of this, it is difficult to trust any science or gov't study since the gov't has it's own scientists who give them the results they want. One time this happened was way back when the sugar industry lobbied to say that there was no link between sugar consumption (which was new) and heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
