Thank you - but I doubt if it ever will be!

As usual, I would go further: I suggest the exact opposite of what the guidelines tell us to eat is our true proper human diet… fatty meat and eggs, with little to no plant matter. The current dietary guidelines are a joke. Built to protect the profits of Big Food and Big Pharma. Just let that last point sink in a bit… Big Pharma… what we are being told to eat is bolstering the profits of Big Pharma…. they *want* us sick and tired.

Yes - most of what we are told to avoid is, in truth, the best food possible. Sugar is perhaps the only exception to that rule, and even that was promoted as a superfood until quite recently.

Excellent drop, Maria. Why am I not surprised to learn that Beyond Meat & Impossible Burgers are right up there with all other bad-for-you ultra processed foods. Bill Gates also was found out yesterday to have donated USD $50M to the ultra processed Democrat presidential candidate here in the States, and that donation was supposed to have been kept secret.

Saturated confusion seems the biggest issue!

Thanks Maria for some common sense.
