They acted like that shit was so important, but it was like super influenced by food lobbyists and misleading or whatever

Apparently in 2011 they changed it to "myplate" and I haven't heard anything about it since then

In Soviet north china the government lies about what a "healthy meal" is comprised of

      Grains have been the #1 component of most people's diets for over 5,000 years.

      You can make a good argument against Wonder/Bunny style bread, but it'd be silly to suggest that staple grains should not make up a substantial fraction of the food we produce and consume. What else is going to provide that many calories?

        getting enough calories in really isn't a problem for the vast majority of people in the developed world. what is a problem is getting quality in those calories and bread really isn't that great nutritionally.

          It's largely not a problem because of the amounts we produce. Supporting the world's population on a hunter-gatherer diet, or even vegetables, would require a huge transformation. Though don't get me wrong, that transformation needs to happen at some point.

      8 Glasses of water a day too, I mean I might do like 5 or 6 but that's on a good day.

        I noticeably feel better when I make it a point to drink more water. Sure I have to pee like every two hours, but i do feel better.

        This is the worst kind of measurement, worse than Imperial units. A "glass" could be as little as 180 mL or as much as 400.

        Just drink 2 liters, it feels easier that way. If you mainly drink water, and drink before and after eating, and carry a water bottle nearby, it's not hard.

      Trust the science. Scientists don't lie. Especially ones who work for the government.
