As a former public school cafeteria worker, I was constantly enraged at the blatantly incorrect guidelines and rules for feeding the kids that we had to abide. I worked with a lady from Fiji and the both of us were constantly trying to sneak in more, tbh…flavor into the bland and boring foods we were allowed to serve in the HOPES that if maybe, JUST MAYBE, we could let them experience food that’s good for them AND delicious they might not grow up to be yet another adult who never sees a vegetables or a fruit willingly ever again. Plus the guidelines were absolutely absurd. Had to be sure any bread we served was “whole grain” so it was ALL 51% whole grain. 51%. Just barely technically majority enough to skirt the rules and get sold to schools, but not actually real, quality whole grain in terms of nutrition or texture or taste! It was just white bread that was somehow even more boring and worse.

Meat-heavy diets put you at higher risk of developing colon cancer, though. Like, yes, you shouldn't eat your heart out on carbs and sugar, but there are other foods that are arguably more important than meats. At the very least, avoid eating too much red meat, and especially avoid pork (as it is the hardest meat to digest). Too much red meat (again, especially pork) is harder on your body. White meat (such as turkey or chicken) and fish are gonna be your best bet for lowering your colon cancer risk. And plenty of greens, of course.

Just saying "don't eat processed foods" is incredibly nondescriptive. Pretty much all commercially sold food is processed. What we have to determine is whether or not the processing that it went through added chemicals that are harmful in the long run or made it much less nutritious or much more caloric or if it was necessary to make it safe. For example, eating raw milk can give you tuberculosis, so milk pasteurization is acceptable. Junk foods are bad because they've been cooked with craptons of oil and so are very calorically dense and not nutritious.

@@svr5423Your cells don't "burn" fat. They can't. They also can't "store glucose." They can only oxidate glucose. There are no "normal fuels," just glucose. Glucose is delivered through the blood to cells using insulin. Insulin isn't "countering an abnormal situation." It's simply delivering glucose to cells as needed. Glucose is always readily available in the blood, as cells need energy to stay alive. When the glucose level drops below baseline (e.g. if you're exercising or exposed to significant changes in environmental temperature), your body starts to replenish by creating more glucose, mainly by metabolizing fat. Conversely, when the glucose level rises above baseline, your body metabolizes surplus glucose and stores it as fat. Not as glucose, that's not a thing. None of this is a problem unless you're diabetic. It's how your body works.

Exactly. And the one-serving-size-must-fit-all aspect means the manufacturers and restaurants target the higher echelon of bodies, and smaller bodies (i.e. predominantly children, girls and women) get proportionately more obese if they don't exercise rigid self control. It used to be that the vast majority of meals were consumed as a family, together around mother's dishes. You started with an empty plate, and picked at the selections at the center until you were full, or the food was gone. Today, for most people the majority of meals are the opposite of this, already measured-out restaurant meals, takeaways or convenience meals from the fridge or the freezer. Most people don't even know how to cook.

What’s funny is a have one of the myplate plates. I used it to drain bacon on paper towels on it since it’s noticeable larger than all my other plates so I can spread the bacon more and use less towels stacking slices. The plate is plastic and intended for children. Doesn’t really matter what percentage of something your giving them it it’s suggesting massive portions

MatPat also covered this in a Food Theory video. Thankfully, it ended a little more positively by showing a food pyramid put together by actual nutritionists and scientists and one that wasn’t influenced by money. You can tell which one is theirs because the bottom tier is actual healthy life choices like exercise…not any food.

Hey, are you stupid? This isn't exactly a "conspiracy", it's just an example of how money is influential in politics--something we basically already know. If you had any common sense, you'd know that stuffing yourself full of carbs is a quick way to gain unnecessary weight. You'd also know that one single diet never works for everyone. Each person is responsible for their own nutrition and diet because our bodies all function differently. It is completely ridiculous and downright pitiful that you think this "has no happy ending". You're aware now, are you not? You now know you should make your own sound judgment on what foods you should and shouldn't eat, correct? If you're going to be "unhappy" about learning something that I already knew before I was 5 years old, then do us a favor and keep it to yourself. I'm perfectly healthy because I choose what to eat, not because the government tells me so.

The key point to all of this is hidden in a quick comment toward the end of this video. The USDA is an agency whose role is to promote the agricultural industy. It is not a consumer protection agency. It is not a scientifically centered agency. It is a publically financed agency that promotes the ag industry. It does grade meat, but that is to promote sales, not to protect the consumer. The true nature of the FDA is even worse!
