    The original food pyramid was designed when starvation was a major concern, and so makes sense in that context.

    The “my plate” was a fair adjustment that refocused on quality of food in a world of plenty.

    I have no idea what a “upside down pyramid” is supposed to be.

          It isnt more natural than rice.

          But is more nutrient dense. And it is much more natural than pringles and rape seed oil.

          And contains a lot more essential nutrients

            Rapeseed oil and rice are effectively identical in terms of like, how much they are shaped and processed by human hands. Or say, oats, barely. Why are those good but canola seeds aren’t?

        “But he is right about diet”

        They wrote unironically, about a man with a well-documented history of hosting a tapeworm that damaged parts of his brain, due to eating poorly sourced and poorly prepared pork.

        Yeah I’m not taking health advise from someone who is basically a walking naturalist fallacy. Arsenic is just as natural as fish if not moreso, doesn’t mean we should be huffing it like ancient bronzesmiths.

          Indeed

          You dont eat the grain straight off the plant

          And pasta is basically just that processed grain with water added?

          Try looking up processed foods

          Refined flour acts exactly like sugar inside the body. It all turns into glucagon.

      I have no idea what a “upside down pyramid” is supposed to be.

      Basically, eat shit peasants. After swimming in it.
