Modern Food Controversies! The Food Pyramid, Seed Oils, Corn Syrup, the 'F' in FDA, Processed Foods and More!

Its unfortunate that the lipid-fat hypothesis is apparently still influencing public opinion on diet even after being debunked.
 



Essentially? Forget all that stuff about bad meat, bad fat and good carbs.

Real food pyramid is:
Fat
Calcium
Integral Grains
Protein (Meat, Fish, Eggs)
Fruits and Vegetables (especially leafy)

Subscribed and following this huge discussion thread very closely with intriguing interest.
 
*looks up intermediate fasting.*

So food is the enemy?

Cause the impression I get is "Eat 2-3 big feasts of week." while forgoing food the rest of the week."

Never would have thought we'd get to this point.
Food is the enemy, yes. Basically, what you put into yourself is what you are.

Eat bad food, you get sick.
Eat too much food, you get sick.
Eat too much bad food, and you... well.

Call me a skeptic but I have a very hard time believing that food has been the better part of human existence since creation, (I mean we literally came from a garden with every fruit bearing tree and animal known to man yet somehow 6000-10,000 years later the very act of food consumption is now killing us. It can't possibly be the fact that people practically live in cubicals now or the fact that our food comes from factories and labs.
 
Something to note that even in the 1970s people ate a relatively similar diet of processed trash yet take a look at any picture and you'll note that everyone is decently healthy.

I really do think that anti-social lifestyle is perpetuating a sedentary lifestyle.

Also plastics. There is a shit ton of evidence that we've basically filled the planet with testoserone inhibitors in the form of petrochemical products.

Our clothes are largely made of plastic. We drink beverages from plastic bottles, paper cups and the like are laminated, and both the water and air supply is being polluted by the run off from these products.

The tech industry has been very much a largly parasitic eninty, especially post 2000s tech and I have a feeling it's ownly going to get worse with the rise of AI

As far as plastics go...don'y you know that plastic is so much better for the environment than paper or glass? Think about all the trees you're saving comrade.

The tech industry as we knew it was born in the cheapest era of credit in human history. When the baby boomers as a mass were putting all of their money into any investment that might even have a hint of return. This did strange things to the global economy like NFT's and things like that.

The Boomers started their mass retirement in 2020, now structurally speaking they are taking their money out of retirement and putting it into banks and safe investments that they can live on. The apatite for risk is gone, the free money is gone, and this is just structurally built into the cake.

On top of that because of global aging and the US getting sick of forever worlds the global economy is breaking apart into regions. The era of being able to make things and buy things anywhere is breaking down. This affects the super advanced stuff needed for any of the AI stuff the most.

Then you get to the fact that the tech industry have been....massive cunts, and have alienated large portions of americans who are now pretty pissed at them for a lot of very legitiment reasons.

This is an industry thats in for some very serious pain, much of it well deserved.
 
I found a food pyramid that works for me, and is likely overall better than the one previously posted:

Maybe. I know some people got really healthy on an all-meat diet, but that may not work for everybody.
I spent 9 months on a carnivore diet.

Other than some spices, I didn't eat ANYTHING that wasn't an animal product. I didn't cheat at all.

I ate a ton, was never hungry, lost 30 lbs.

I quit because I just really missed a lot of my favorite foods, and I wanted an increase in athletic performance that requires carbohydrates.
 

How accurate is this article? I mean, yes it talks about chem trails but what about the other things?

"Protein is bad for you!"
"We know this because we forced people to drink a shitload of seed oils, sugar, soy, salt and contraceptive stevia!"
fun fact. ingredients are listed in order sorted by their quantity.
that "protein" they used is, in order: Sugar > Oil > Protein Concentrate (this means a mix of protein and water)

I think the conclusion here is that nestle is bad for you. well... you really should have stopped using nestle when we found out a decade ago that they literally use actual literal slave labor to product their shit.
I don't mean wage-slaves, I mean actual literal slaves.

This isn't even a protein drink. It's a meal replacement drink. It's got as much fat as it does protein (14g) and has 45 carbohydrates.

If you want to have a pre-mixed protein drink, fairlife isn't bad. I actually suggest just buying a powdered whey concentrate, isolate or blend of the two. Concentrate is cheaper, but it has more milk solids and can cause issues for lactose intolerant people. Those people should try isolate.

Other than that, it doesn't much matter which one. They're both high quality protein because they have a good amino acid balance. Over 30g and up of whey, will hit the leucine threshold that signals your body to synthesize protein and build muscles. Aim for 30g+ per serving. If your brand is only like 24g, use bigger scoops.

I just had to look up the exact nutritional information.
A serving size of Nestle Boost Plus™ contains:
24 grams added sugar
20 grams starch
14 grams fat
14 grams protein
1 gram fiber

That is, sugars and simple starch (also sugar) are 60.3% of the "meal"

Eh, that pyramid never applied to begin with.

Anyway:
