    My dad almost died from polio. Vaccines are a major part of my existing (my mother got vaccinated against it). Fuck this guy.

    Yes but only the rich countries are supposed to eat like this. The rest can eat rice or whatever.

    Did this article falsely assume that all people on earth are equal and should eat like this?

      Focusing on protein and healthy fats over carbohydrates is not quackery.

      An insistence on meat/dairy, that’s quackery, but Americans in general eat too many shit tier carbohydrates and fats and not enough protein.

      Edit: this is Lemmy. Want fiber and protein? Eat some fuckin’ BEANS.

        It’s also worth pointing out that the sugar industry spent decades and billions of dollars convincing Americans that fats were much worse than they actually are, which led to its own terrible consequences. There are healthy amounts of fat that a lot of boomers are still terrified of.

        These food guidelines have always been more about economics than health anyways. It changes with the political influence of the various agricultural industries in America.

          I don’t disagree, but veggies and fibers aren’t macronutrients in our current system of nutrition. Fats, carbs, proteins. Of those three, it’s wiser to prioritize proteins over the rest. This is all I’m saying.

        We eat more than enough protein. What we lack is roughage. We’re all in on that ultra processed white bread and corn chip stuff with lots of pasta. The main foods we need to eat more of remains as it always has: vegetables and to a lesser extent unprocessed fruits. We also should shift how we consume starches to healthier variants like baked potatoes. But seriously, it’s fiber, we don’t eat enough fiber

          I don’t disagree with that at all. Fiber is massively important.

          I suppose what I’m trying to say is, given a constant calorie budget, people would be healthier if they shifted their proportions of calories towards protein and good fats and away from carbohydrates and bad fats. This does not seem like quackery to me, it seems like sound dietary advice.

            This is broadly true, and the majority of the information in the new dietary guidelines is more or less in line with what we know already and what was recommended before. Protein is a great energy source that keeps you fuller longer, and is especially important if you’re active. But the new recommended range of protein intake is ridiculous. 1.2-1.6 grams per lb of body weight is well above the range that is helpful for bodybuilders, much less average sedentary Americans. Many will meet this with red meat consumption, which has a number of negative health and climate effects that the new dietary guidelines have nothing to say about.

            You also really do need fats and carbohydrates for a number of vital body processes, and I think unless they’re active and being VERY careful, someone eating 1.6 g/lb of protein will struggle to get enough fat and carbs without introducing a caloric surplus.

              That’s frankly an insane amount of protein. I have been getting into weight lifting the past few years and I target 1g protein per kilogram bodyweight. This got me from 165lbs (75kg) to 205lbs (93kg) on a 6’3” (1.9m) frame and it seems to be well supported by numerous scientific studies.

          It really depends on your activity level and what your goals are. To quote from your own source "If you’re actively building muscle with strength or resistance training, more protein can help,” said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a Tufts University nutrition expert. “Otherwise, you’re getting enough.”

          Most Americans are getting enough protein in their diet because most Americans are less active than they should be and are already eating more than they should be.

          Diets should be built around an individuals needs, though fiber is one of the things virtually no one is getting enough of unless your eating like 5 cups of lentils everyday.

        That is true, the sugar (and corn,) industry at a minimum has run influence operations demonizing fat for the harms of sugar.

        The body actually does not feel full until it gets enough fat, the stomach tastes the contents, if you have no fat you take in way more calories. Also, sugar is half fructose and half glucose. Glucose is good, used as is, that is what they put in hospital IV drips. Fructose gets metabolized in your liver into fat, then used, but the body does not recognize it as a food. It does not contribute to a full feeling.

        Every time these dumb motherfuckers get thirsty they swill down pop, with the equivalent of 16 teaspoons of sugar in a 16 ounce. It is a major, if not the largest, factor in obesity.

        Fructose could not even be utilized in human ancestors in the monkey days, it was not until a cold wind blew over africa for centuries that our monkey ancestors got the ability to turn that fructose into fat, to use for the periods when we did not have fresh fruit on hand every day all day. According to a national geographic article titled Sugar, now not findable on enshitified search engines because fuck you, (and me, the consumer not a personal dig.)

          Are you sure about that last bit with the monkeys? Most fruits contain fructose, it’d be weird if money body just discarded a perfectly good source of backup energy.

          Also your liver can metabolise fructose straight into glucose too if needed. Obviously not as fast as eating glucose, but if you were a monke, it might be pretty useful. In today’s sedentary society it’s of course more harmful, but I don’t think fructose itself is inherently bad. We just live lifestyles and have diets where it has little to no place.

            I am sure I read it in a national geographic article titled sugar over ten years ago. I have been made aware the liver processing into fat and body breaking it down is more complicated than that, that is interesting it can make it straight into glucose.

            Before the cold snap, the monkeys were in tropics, fruit is constantly on the trees, tropical forests are completely different than temperate ones too, there is incredible diversity in trees down there, up here it’s the same few trees, they might not have 2 of the same trees on an acre. They flower differently, figs in the tropics for instance, they bear fruit year round, constant. So there was no need to use the fructose, I would be interested to learn more about it though, as other animals can use it and when and how they were able to as we know. There was no shortage of fruit in those tropical forests, limits on populations were likely more from disease and predation than food shortages.

            But national geographic is a reliable source, or was, back then. Haven’t seen them in a while, not really since news corporation bought them, I know they sold them off later but that’s when I quit them.

    There are almost zero Americans that are protein deficient. Yet people here freak out about vegetarians and vegans like they’re going to die of lack of protein while ignoring common vegan protein sources.

    You could cut about half of the meat from old food group suggestions, including the Michele Obama one (which was more healthy and reasonable), and still be getting more than enough protein.

    God these people are so anti-science and so fucking dumb. Men all desperately trying to look like roided out freaks.

      I’m no vegan or vegetarian, but I’ve been eating way less meat and more veggies lately since I found a really delicious veggie stew recipe. I’ve made it weekly for meal prep almost 4 weeks in a row now. There are many days recently where I go without eating meat at all. I just got some blood work back from my yearly physical and I had too much protein in my blood.

      I actually get more protein from the veggie stew than I was getting with my old diet.

        For those that wanted the recipe:

        • 1 onion, chopped into half inch strips
        • 3 celery sticks, diced
        • one pack of baby bella mushrooms
        • one parsnip, finely diced
        • two zucchini, cut into small cubes
        • 4-5 large red potatoes, cubed with skin on
        • 1 pound of carrots, cut into chips, or one pound of baby carrots
        • 1 can of light red kidney beans, drained and washed
        • 1 can fire roasted tomatoes
        • 4 cups of veggie broth
        • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional)
        • 1 can of tomato paste (optional)
        • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
        • 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
        • 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika
        • 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
        • 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
        • 3/4 teaspoon of dried garlic
        1. In a large pot on medium high heat, add olive oil, onions, celery, mushrooms. Saute until softened.

        2. Pour in veggie broth, lemon juice, and spices. Mix well.

        3. Pour in the rest of the veggies and kidney beans. Mix well.

        4. Pour in fire roasted tomatoes on top. DO NOT MIX, and do not dispose of the can.

        5. Fill the can from the fire roasted tomatoes with water and pour into pot. Do not stir.

        6. Cover the pot with a lid, lower heat to medium, and simmer for between 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

        7. Optional - add in tomato paste and stir well.

        8. Add additional spices or salt to taste.

        9. Serve with noodles. I prefer those small middle rings.

        Thanks for the link. I’m personally not even vegan and only what I call “half-vegetarian.” I was pushing for full vegetarian until I was diagnosed with cancer which actually does require increased protein intake. I just think it’s dumb to ignore reality that the majority of US citizens are far from hurting for protein and that there are plenty of healthy vegan protein options from nuts to tofu to seitan and more.

              It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes […] Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. —Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (2016)

              It is the position
