Listening to Brian Wansink right now and he just said that 60 BILLION dollars in programs are based on the USDA dietary guidelines. Wow no wonder the sugar lobby has great influence over the results.

PRETTY AMAZING, isn’t it, Pete! That’s why this is so important. I’m working on interviewing Dr. Wansink for my podcast show.

Like Dan said.

This is the problem!

…Department of Agriculture and Health…

Also all these “frankenfoods” that are now in supermarket shelves all over the western hemisphere… I think it’s just about time people get their pitchforks and torches…

I know it’s starting to happen here in Sweden.

PS. Love the Blog!

We are seen as a bunch of quacks. — Can hundreds of millions of processed and hybrid carbohydrate addicts possibly be wrong? Can they possibly all be high on carbohydrates and not know it? Can they possibly all be self sure of themselves, a trademark of stimulants. — Can carbohydrates be stimulants?

I’m with Dan, above. Why do we need the goverment handing out guidelines every five years? It obviously isn’t helping Americans maintain/regain their health. I think it’s made people fatter and sicker. And notice that all of the food manufacturers then paste the pyramid on all of their products.

I second Jean on that one! I want to see Jimmy’s smiling face on the guy scaling the pyramid as the icon for this new low carb board!

All the Best,
