Perfect example of why lobbying needs to be outlawed.
💯
Perfect example of why we need far less government.
From what I've gathered, that may cause other, unforseen problems itself. The whole system is screwy.
@@mirzaahmed6589Bingo. Department of Agriculture was almost explicitly built for corruption.
The problem is capitalism.
Having worked in healthcare food service for a number of years over the course of my career,I suddenly feel vindicated on feeling at times like the guidance seemed to change and contradict itself at times.
Well 1) when you have factors like corporate lobbying involved things will end being kicked back and forth.
2) Science is always improving and getting more information so obviously what we know will change. Would you prefer them not to change when they get new information just so that you don’t get confused?
@@Savannah_Simpsonwhy do you feel the need to be condescending?
@@Savannah_Simpsonyou’re actually this naive? We know for a fact nutrition “science” is bought and paid for at the top universities by large food companies. All the research on fat done since the late 1980s has collapsed after it was revealed it was all funded by the sugar industry.
Dum dumbs like you trust the (((science))) 🤡
@@Savannah_Simpson The problem is this happened in the first place... we knew the food pyramid was s#*t and bad for you in the 1950's already
@@Savannah_Simpson Damn, having a rough day or just cruel? lol... Relax, each of us have our own experience and path in this life. No need to shit on strangers just to be petty.
Back in the early 2000s all the high school campuses had coke machines until some official decided to discontinue the sugary sodas. Then it was decided sugary sports drinks were a better replacement.
Michelle "Big Mike" Obama did that.
Yep then it went to energy drinks. Crazy times
Ha I remember that
they got electrolytes in them, plants love the stuff
"Water? You mean like in the toilet"?!
It’s crazy, even in elementary school in the 90s I remember asking my teacher “so I can eat 11 slices of bread and that’s healthy?” And she explained the importance of variety so I asked what other kinds of whole grains I could eat and she said “pasta”. I argued until I got a note sent home. Never did make any sense that I could eat 5 slices of bread and 5 servings of spaghetti and that was a good thing.
If you were a pro athlete, you could probably eat that much bread, in addition to the other foods.
I eat 10 slices of bread on a good day. Some is whole grain, some is not, but I consider it a good part of my diet. There are many things much worse than bread
@@Ubeogeshno way you consider that a healthy diet ong
@@spartancrap9710 why not? Bread is not bad. It's OK carb source
Lol, that’s pretty much what I thought as a kid until my doctors told me I have to avoid gluten. Apparently it makes me bloat and constipate.
I’m not so sure I want the government educating me on my health anymore. It seems to be a big problem on so many levels.
As a former public school cafeteria worker, I was constantly enraged at the blatantly incorrect guidelines and rules for feeding the kids that we had to abide. I worked with a lady from Fiji and the both of us were constantly trying to sneak in more, tbh…flavor into the bland and boring foods we were allowed to serve in the HOPES that if maybe, JUST MAYBE, we could let them experience food that’s good for them AND delicious they might not grow up to be yet another adult who never sees a vegetables or a fruit willingly ever again. Plus the guidelines were absolutely absurd. Had to be sure any bread we served was “whole grain” so it was ALL 51% whole grain. 51%. Just barely technically majority enough to skirt the rules and get sold to schools, but not actually real, quality whole grain in terms of nutrition or texture or taste! It was just white bread that was somehow even more boring and worse.
Real whole grain also has very little nutrients in it. Animal products have the most nutrients. This "whole grain" crapola everyone keeps spewing is brainwashing nonsense.
Its scary to think you can bend rules to what you believe is right and you could easily spike kids food with whatever
@@AnonMouse-eo4of precisely why the regulations in place for public schools should be actually medically informed. We were literally just adding herbs and spices, so calm down. We are professionals. The job requires multiple security clearances and background checks just to be considered for an interview
@@cairneoleander8130 medically informed? Im sure they are and its mostly about costs. Even hospitals serve crap food.
@@cairneoleander8130 also its still not right to add what you want. If everyone broke the rules then there wouldn't be any. And no theres not a lot of lookong into lunch ladies or teachers for that matter. Public schools across the ums have been known to hire registered sex offenders to teach, so i could only imagine what they're checking for an entry level job.
All I can think of is that South Park episode where Cartman convinces the FDA to flip the food pyramid.

I thought I was experiencing the Mandela effect... I was positive we learned fruit and veg was the food group you were to eat most in the '90s. Turns out it's just because I'm Canadian and the Canada Food Guide differs a bit. They still WAY oversold us on carbs, but it was veg first carbs second here, rather than the other way around, since 1982, apparently.
I have no point -- I just wanted to reassure the other Canadians you're not losing your minds. 😆
Yee. The refined it furrher recently to be overloaded with fruit, veg, and whole grains.
Seems like the goal is to avoid as much processing as possible because thats the step in which companies and producers add things that lead to ill health.
Pizza is round and has food on it. That's my food wheel!
Preach it, sister! Testify! 🍕 🍕 🍕
Remember that “pi are square “. No! Pi are round!

When I was in school my professor literally said that the food pyramid was pointless because of all the lobbying.
Nice.
I don’t know who did their homework on this one, but as a registered dietitian, I have to say: SLAM DUNK!!! we have trying to debunk this for 20 years. I actually forwarded this to a friend of mine that taught advanced nutrition courses for a major university, because I think it should be required viewing for anyone in that course of study.
What’s your ideal healthy diet what works for you might not be for everyone
Any advice for the fairly inactive lifestyle that seems to be getting inescapable these days? I'm 5'8 and barely need 1700 calories most days.
I’ve been on a carnivore diet for 20 years. I thought we needed vitamin C every day? I’m 44 and exercise 4 to 5 times per week.
Then what is the original food pyramid consiated of? Link, please?
You guys forgot the most important puzzle piece of food stamp programs and how they relate to the food pyramid
I stopped trying to follow the food pyramid in January and lost over 70 lbs basically doing the exact opposite. I cut carbs and sugar and only eat fatty meats. My blood pressure dropped almost immediately and my blood labs show an improvement across the board, especially my kidneys and liver. The only downside is the cost of a meat heavy diet compared to the cheap carbs in the food pyramid scheme.
Meat-heavy diets put you at higher risk of developing colon cancer, though. Like, yes, you shouldn't eat your heart out on carbs and sugar, but there are other foods that are arguably more important than meats. At the very least, avoid eating too much red meat, and especially avoid pork (as it is the hardest meat to digest). Too much red meat (again, especially pork) is harder on your body. White meat (such as turkey or chicken) and fish are gonna be your best bet for lowering your colon cancer risk. And plenty of greens, of course.
I went Keto five years ago and lost 140 lbs in six months. Same experience. Better health, lower BP, less joint pain etc. I fell off the wagon four years ago when I married my Asian wife (rice is life), but am back on again. I just don't feel as good or healthy when eating surgars or grains.
@@raymondzehrung9274Same story, was into, did well. Then married an Asian who is also a Baker.
I declined rapidly until I went back
Cheap meat is also healthy.
@@beejereeno2 No, it's not
All I know is, a low carb, good fat diet helped me lose 50 pounds at the age of 62, even though our PA kept insisting it wasn’t good for me. After the pandemic, I don’t believe any of these experts are motivated by anything but kickbacks.
I love the way this channel references real life trending topics like the misinformation train.
Also can we get a video on foods that were reformulated to make Americans feel more comfortable? For example: in the 1950s cake mix was reformulated so that you had to add eggs and oil yourself so people felt more like they were cooking. AND potatoes used to be sold clean from dirt, but people thought it was unnatural and that it meant the potatoes were full of preservatives and chemicals so the potato people started putting dirt BACK on them to make people feel better.
Humans can be very silly.
Where are you buying dirty potatoes? I’ve never seen or heard of such a thing other than maybe if you’re buying from a roadside farm stand. All potatoes I’ve seen in a store on my entire life are washed. You still rinse them at home just to be sure there’s nothing from transport or the packaging on them but they’re perfectly clean from the store.
@@lookoutforchris well idk about your sterile taters, but here in Alabama we can get dirty potatoes in a sack at Walmart.
@@lookoutforchris WHite potatoes and redskins are pretty clean but russets are filthy.
@@lookoutforchris every grocery store. Walmart. I've never bought potatoes that didn't have dirt on them.
Growing up in the late 80’s and 90’s. That 6-11 servings of carbs each day was a horrible thing to do to kids. Now we are 30-40 years old are fat and have arthritis. So thanks food lobby.
Thank god i didn't fall for it.
I was a mum in the 90's and followed no such advice. In Australia nobody listened to that rubbish. We had top notch meat on the table with fresh veggies every night.
I remember being taught about the food pyramid in school. I didn't exactly follow it. I remember I ate more sweets than I should have. But that combined with cereals and grains (as recommended) just made me fat. By the time I was an adult, I was convinced that the food pyramid isn't even scientifically accurate. I'm currently working toward increasing my protein intake and watching my macros instead.
I rember my Home Ec teacher in High School even crticisizeing the orgianl Food Pyramad saying that the amount of carbohydrates they recommended was rediculous unless you had a really physically demanding job. Hence why I can remember the food pyramid having that set of stairs on the side to encourage physical activity at one point. Good nutrition is not one size fits all depending on the person and their lifestyle and diet.
I run into a lot of this. I am a laborer but if I were to go looking for diet or exercise advise most of it is geared for someone that is a officer worker. It's gotten both easier and harder in some respects with the rise of online resources but it does take a lot of trial and error to find something that works for you.
Don't eat processed foods. You are better off with a piece of meat, potatoes and some veggies
Just saying "don't eat processed foods" is incredibly nondescriptive. Pretty much all commercially sold food is processed. What we have to determine is whether or not the processing that it went through added chemicals that are harmful in the long run or made it much less nutritious or much more caloric or if it was necessary to make it safe. For example, eating raw milk can give you tuberculosis, so milk pasteurization is acceptable. Junk foods are bad because they've been cooked with craptons of oil and so are very calorically dense and not nutritious.
It's like Big Business has a crippling addiction on being a major influence to the government, especially when it comes to food.
Whichever businesses lobby are the ones that rise to the top, so it's inevitable in the current system.
Big Government has a crippling addiction to catering to the rich. Since, well, probably its inception.
They have a crippling addiction to profit.
Not just food, nearly everything. Pharma is the biggest now, surpassing even oil
@@bovinityleak2066Corporations are legally obligated to act in the best interests of their share holders. They aren't allowed to so the right thing even if that wanted to.
You should do the 'Got Milk" conspiracy
Not conspiracy. Ricketts and poverty were real.
We have much different lifestyles today than 100 years ago too. My grandmother served fried fish and buttered biscuits with leaded coffee for breakfast when my mom was 5 years old. lol
Can you imagine giving your kindergartener coffee before school? lol
Coffee is awesome 😍 Most kids don't like it, though 😊
@@DanielSmedegaardBuus Yeah but idk if it's okay to give very young children caffeine.
I think the 3 meals a day is the biggest scam.
Or, that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. (It's actually just more advertising by the food industry.)
If you are not active during the morning, why eat more calories?
Definitely. Depending on your lifestyle one or two meals with any number of snacks is perfectly good. Hell, I do intermittent fasting so I eat from 1-9pm since my mornings don't require activity and my evenings I go to sleep. Keeps me feeling good.
Because going 16+ hours without food is a bad idea?
It depends on the person. When I got up at 3am to start my cases I ate a lot of protein and fiber to get through the day. When I got onto second shift I’d eat maybe once.
They need to throw the guidelines out the window. You either eat healthy or don’t.
@@FleshCloud-ey5ro There's no problem in going 16+ hours without food.
Doing one meal a day or two meals in a shorter time window should work for most people.
Eating three meals a day with high carbs plus at least 2 additional snacks in between (like "recommended") is what gives people Diabetes. The body is never in a normal power consumption mode when it's burning fat.
@@svr5423 Yep. People seem to think you can't even go a few hours without eating, which is mind boggling.
So after all this time, it was all about 💰 ? Awesome vid as usual!
Isn't always? We are a gullible society.
It's ALWAYS about the 💵💵💲💲💸💸💰💰💹💹
When I was in school, I was always confused by the food pyramid.
No mention of Ancel Keys or John Ludkin. Well done. That was sarcasm in case you missed it.
To me, the food pyramid is the most prominent symbol of what's wrong with our nutrition.
Just keep eating carbs and more carbs at least 3 to 5 times a day to keep the insulin pumping - what could possibly go wrong?
You forgot to mention the FDA too.
Insulin is what your body uses to allow your cells to absorb glucose.
@@DanielSmedegaardBuus That's correct. Your body normally burns fat.
If the blood glucose get's too high, that is an abnormal situation that is countered by releasing insulin and having cells stop burning fat, burning and storing glucose instead.
If you make an abnormal situation normal, the body will eventually develop issues burning normal fuels. You'll go hungry when your blood glucose drops, the body will have issues accessing fat reserves and later you can develop type 2 diabetes.
@@svr5423Your cells don't "burn" fat. They can't. They also can't "store glucose." They can only oxidate glucose. There are no "normal fuels," just glucose. Glucose is delivered through the blood to cells using insulin.
Insulin isn't "countering an abnormal situation." It's simply delivering glucose to cells as needed. Glucose is always readily available in the blood, as cells need energy to stay alive. When the glucose level drops below baseline (e.g. if you're exercising or exposed to significant changes in environmental temperature), your body starts to replenish by creating more glucose, mainly by metabolizing fat. Conversely, when the glucose level rises above baseline, your body metabolizes surplus glucose and stores it as fat. Not as glucose, that's not a thing.
None of this is a problem unless you're diabetic. It's how your body works.
You could not of described the anomaly better.
excess body weight is like congealed insulin
But remember - just like Ronnie Reagan said - if you need a vegetable, pour on more ketchup! Haha!
The food pyramid: a very helpful pie chart of the top influential food lobbyists.
The Standard American Diet is indeed SAD! Follow the money and see that they're just out for their own best interests and not ours. I follow an upside-down pyramid so to speak and it has done wonders for my health. Quite frankly even just eating whole foods instead of the highly processed garbage would be enough to help most people.
This exactly! I feel like these "food pyramid" folks don't pay attention to the fact that it's not about WHAT people are eating, so much as how MUCH they're eating and how little they exercise. Obesity rates keep going up because fast food and processed foods are so easily available now in comparison to their availability 100 years ago, and a lot of people don't seem to care about how much plastic they're indirectly consuming.
Just saw an extremely obese couple in Walmart. They were paying for their items -- several frozen pizzas, a frozen pot pie in a box, and several tubs of ice cream. It was sad indeed.
Raised on a farm and still knew the school was lieing to all my pals my mom tought me to eat right and question any ones cooking skills and ingredients
What happened to America is the fast food convenience craze. That's why were fat. Instead of having a 600 calorie home cooked meal we traded it in for a 1200-1500 calorie fast food meal. And then we supersized it to get our moneys worth. It's called S.A.D. Standard American diet. It's not politicians or lobbyists who are to blame but advertising and culture. I majored in Nutrition in college. It's eye opening.
Exactly. And the one-serving-size-must-fit-all aspect means the manufacturers and restaurants target the higher echelon of bodies, and smaller bodies (i.e. predominantly children, girls and women) get proportionately more obese if they don't exercise rigid self control.
It used to be that the vast majority of meals were consumed as a family, together around mother's dishes. You started with an empty plate, and picked at the selections at the center until you were full, or the food was gone.
Today, for most people the majority of meals are the opposite of this, already measured-out restaurant meals, takeaways or convenience meals from the fridge or the freezer. Most people don't even know how to cook.
A+ video!
Fascinating and rather shocking history of the food pyramid!
I think the most important change in the food pyramid would be an extra *THREE SERVINGS A DAY* of skepticism and doubt.
@9:34 I have only grown one things in the garden, and it has been tomatoes.
We made spaghetti sauce, cocktail sauce, gourmet ketchup, tomato soup, tomato sauce, and barbecue sauce from them.
There is a whole section of jars in the cellar from that crop.
I remember a few teachers in the 1990s basically trying to shame our families if we didn't eat according to the pyramid every day.
What's killing us is the lack of omega 3. We need as much Onega 3 as we get in omega 6.
Omega 3 is expensive. Comes from grass fed dairy and meats and wild caught fish.
Omega 6 is cheap comes from grains, grain fed meat, and grain fed farmed fish.
Single nutrient Reductionism is trendy at the moment.
Sugar one day, fat the next, seed oil the next, omega 3........
@@cincin4515 That doesn't change the fact that we eat way more Omega 3 than Omega 6.
@Ash_Wen-li It's the opposite, actually. That's the problem. We SHOULD eat more Omega-3, but our diets are instead way more rich in Omega-6.
@@Ash_Wen-li I guess if you're an Inuet living of fish and seal blubber. Otherwise you must be very rich
Isn't it amazing how the one food group we should eat the least of is what they recommend we eat the most of? Our calories should be from fat, then protein, then minimal carbs.
this was funnier than I expected, good job
God forbid in the 80s our high school cafeteria had a milkshake machine and Hostess snacks back when they were still good and big
We had a milkshake machine, could get fries everyday. We had vending machines with so much junk food in them it was crazy. Thankfully my family was too poor to give me the 1.50$ a day for school lunches
I don't think the "scientist" behind these studies considered food allergies. I could be be wrong but there's been an increase of food allergies(tree nut, seafood, diary) over at least 60 or more years.
Yes, agree
gluten allergies as well
@@glitchsisterGluten intolerance is hereditary and only affects around 1% of the population. It is a good marketing tool though.
@@glitchsister kind of but there's more people allergic to those food groups than gluten.
I believe that most facts and statistics is simplified before given to the public. What fruits/ breads/meats..
About 30 years ago, us Swedes was told to eat 6-8 slices of bread each day. I now know that Swedish bread contain more white sugar than bread does in any other country. The reason of the amount of bread to be eaten and the amount of sugar in the bread comes from the foodstuffs we had a surplus of during WWII. Grain and sugar beats is perfect for the Swedish climate.
Don't change a winning recept 🤔
That's why Swedish bread is so sweet? Interesting. Sorry to be a rude neighbor, but it tastes pretty bad 😂 But it appears you're starting to turn my fellow Danes, because I see more and more of this "Pågen" sugary bread in our stores. Please stop it! 😂
whats your excuse for eating that stinky fish?
I’m old enough to remember the “Four Basic Food Groups”(milk, dairy, fruits and vegetables., and cereals).
How is cereal a food group?
@@SparklRebel In this context, it means “grains”(wheat, corn, rice, etc.)
Uhh, milk is dairy and where the heck is meat?
They really should outlaw lobbying, or at least make it more transparent, like the politicians should have to wear bright outfits with their sponsors logos all over them, like NASCAR.
The food pyramid is very complicated. It doesn't give you as much info in a quick glance as the plate does. - Author: Tom Vilsack
Citizens United is one of if not the worst pieces of modern federal legislation across the board. It needs to go.
It is a non profit organization
@@SparklRebel Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission Supreme Court ruling is what I'm referring to. It's a PAC that promotes free enterprise (unfettered capitalism), socially conservative causes and candidates who advance their mission. And thanks to the SCOTUS ruling, unlimited corporate money goes into campaign finance. Thanks to this, laws and elections are bought and sold to the highest bidder. This is why campaign finance reform is such a big deal. It's judicially approved corruption. BAD. Get it?
Food pyramid: Sounds badass
MyPlate: Laaaame
Back in the 80's I named this the Diabetes Type II Pyramid. ONLY the middle two sections (without starchy veggies, and soy. And, greatly limited fruit + add in animal fats from the top section) should be on a human's diet. Animal fats need to be almost as much as meat protein.
I don't have any animal products in my diet and it's not detrimental. 🤷♀️. It's far from necessary. I also eat plenty of bean curd; it's not bad for you.
@@Nylak-Otter wrong. It just hasn't caught up with you yet. Humans are MOSTLY carnivorous. That you are anti-science doesn't make your diet healthy.
Accurate video!
good video
MatPat also covered this in a Food Theory video. Thankfully, it ended a little more positively by showing a food pyramid put together by actual nutritionists and scientists and one that wasn’t influenced by money. You can tell which one is theirs because the bottom tier is actual healthy life choices like exercise…not any food.
He's still too much on the carb side.
There are much better channels when it comes to healthy nutrition.
The Today I Found Out channel did it four years ago. The Dr. Mike channel also covered this subject a year ago.
Seems... weird, exercise isn't a "food".
@@Akeche Sure. But, if you don't exercise, whatever you eat, you won't be healthy. There are diseases (some types of diabetes, heart and circulation conditions, osteoporosis, even types of depression) that can be prevented, improved or cured with exercise. The human body works better, as a whole, when it moves. Doing chores, gardening, walking; it doesn't have to be crossfit or kung fu.
@@Akeche Yeah but the idea was that any diet should be built on good habits like getting enough sleep and exercise. Without those, it won’t matter what you eat or how much because you will still be unhealthy in some way.
"Food Politics" (2002) by Marion Nestle dives into all of this in great detail.
Works Perfectly for me! 😊❤
Can we do a episode on American Buffets like hometown, Golden Corral etc. thanks!!!!!
Thanks WHF❤
What’s funny is a have one of the myplate plates. I used it to drain bacon on paper towels on it since it’s noticeable larger than all my other plates so I can spread the bacon more and use less towels stacking slices. The plate is plastic and intended for children. Doesn’t really matter what percentage of something your giving them it it’s suggesting massive portions
I think the biggest travesty is that our health professionals, who should know this, are the ones pushing that we eat certain things based on the USDA whim at the time. Our bodies are mostly water and protein and yet they want to minimize the need for protein. We do have canine teeth!
If you were a true carnivore, then you wouldn't need weapons to eat meat, but you do. True carnivorous animals in nature don't need any weapons to eat their prey. They just use their teeth and claws. They don't need man made knives, spears, guns, or arrows to kill and cut up the animal in order to eat it. No weapons are needed to eat fruits and vegetables.
Suggestion: Athletes whose pictures appear on boxes of Wheaties. Do they even really eat them? How are they selected? Which athletes were rejected by Wheaties?
Brawndo will one day buy out the entire food pyramid. It's got electrolytes!
USDA: follow these guidelines
Americans: Thanks for the guidelines but I'm going to McDonald's
In the US we have to work hard to mentally come to terms with our unhealthy weight and body image because we gave up on the fight to have some quality in our basic affordable food options. It's fucked. People in so many other countries don't have this problem. Mexico, used to be one of those countries. Eat like a king and look like a model. Now that US food companies have taken over down south, they have it worse than we do..
I remember all of these dietary guidelines…God I’m old.
This is why I will never blindly follow any food pyramid or guideline from the USDA.. they’re clearly and deeply in the pocket of the food industry, just like the FDA has been bought and paid for by the Pharmaceutical industry. I’ll listen to what my endocrinologist and my doctor recommends.
Eat what you can and what you want in moderation
I remember Mulligan stew being shown in my class, long ago. 😂😂😂

@3:53 I remember on the film Wild Hogs (2007) when Dr. Doug Madsen (Tim Allen) eats a stick of butter out of rebellion and they have to take him to the hospital.
So glad that's over! It would take me a week to eat that much bread and pasta.
Adam Conover would be proud. He should do a video on this too
Did you really have to add so many visuals of people eating sticks of butter?
Im glad u came out with this. In the mid 70s my cousin said she was going to eat accordingly to the food pyramid to lise weight n b healthy. Then later she said she was gaining weight....
I just eat when I'm hungry, try to keep a varied diet, and go on walks. Haven't gained (or lost) any weight in years now. Everyone just wants to sell you some product by making you feel bad.
Too much sugar is bad. HFCS, doubly so. It's been difficult to find any foods in the US that doesn't have HFCS in them. Hell, they even have them where you least expect them to be in.
Haven't been able to find any butterscotch that doesn't have HFCS either 😞
As a 90s kid, this pyramid was burned into your skull in every cafeteria.
Oh god Colleen Ballinger’s “misinformation train” reference was used. With a train whistle no less 😂😂😂😂😂
At first it wasn't easy, changing food pyramids in minds. 😂
In Australia the food pyramid - especially for children - has veggies at the bottom, including a small amount of fruit - followed by grains, mostly whole grains - then proteins shred with dairy - both of which include non animal based foods - the top is healthy oils. I wonder what the child obesity level is in Australia compared to the UK and US.
so like in every other facet of life, ignore the government guidelines
Odd, growing up in the 60s and 70s, I and most of my friends ate a diet heavy with grains and fruit. Cereal for breakfast. Bread with every meal. Cereal or crackers as snacks. None of us were fat or even "overweight." At 6'2" I never weighed more than 190 lbs until I was in my 30s and started following the recommendations of a dietitian.
Michael Phelps ate tons of grains and carbs when he competed as a swimmer, and still he was lean and in good shape, why? because he burned if off while training. Obesity epidemic is more about lack of exercise than it is about the foods, but when you combine both (being at sedentary job and eating carbs and sugar) you become obese.
@@AdirondackHomestead Now that depends, If you workout with full intensity 5 times a week and gain muscle, you will certainly be able to eat as much or even more as a sedentary person and still remain lean. Muscle also takes energy for the body to keep.

Great video except for that smarmy news guy at the beginning.
Money makes the world go round
Eat majoritarily whole foods, aim for 0.7g-1g of protein per pound of bodyweight for satiety, and have at least one serving of fruit or veg with each meal. It's that easy
I forgot about that goofy food pyramid. It did serious harm to me as a child. Luckily I grew out of it. I'm extremely frustrated that diet education is still garbage in schools. It should be considered child abuse.
Aside from those found in raw food, polyunsaturated fats are probably the worst thing you could be eating besides processed bread, and sugar. Theyre akin to engine lubricants. Saturated fat is actually good for you.
That's an oversimplification. Polyunsaturated fats from whole food sources are fine. Definitely wouldn't eat processed food laden with them though
@@Ash_Wen-li as a rule of thumb I feel like it's not that much of an oversimplification. I will concede that the uninformed may take my comment wrong.
The only whole foods that have more than very small amounts are basically fish. Any type of oil derived from seeds flax, canola, soybean etc cause systemic inflammation.
In summary the proportions of types of fat that should be ingested are represented in raw food.
I've never met anyone that listened to the food pyramid. Sweets bad, veggies and fruit good, everything else in moderation. Also everyone is a expert
Thanks for this! 🌾🥖🥦🍒 #WeirdHistoryFood #FoodPyramid
It's like the folks that run this channel are just listening to Maintenance Phase and giving the cliffnotes version with visual aids lolol
Sugar and simple refind carbs are the cause of alot of health issues
simple minded Americans always looking for the lowest shekel value have mental issues.
Like what? Why do you think that?

South Park has a great take on the food pyramids
Inculcate…great word.
pov: you are a kid at school learning about the food pyramid at class, you ask "its bill cipher" then the teacher kicks you out of the class because food pyramid is not a conspiracy (i saw at food theory video)
I think this is the first of your videos that made me take my tinfoil hat, take a listen, hold the urge to add more tinfoil, and in the end ("USDA is concerned with production, not nutrition") I decided tinfoil isn't enough and now wear a solid metal cap.
This is one that has no happy ending.
Hey, are you stupid? This isn't exactly a "conspiracy", it's just an example of how money is influential in politics--something we basically already know.
If you had any common sense, you'd know that stuffing yourself full of carbs is a quick way to gain unnecessary weight. You'd also know that one single diet never works for everyone. Each person is responsible for their own nutrition and diet because our bodies all function differently.
It is completely ridiculous and downright pitiful that you think this "has no happy ending". You're aware now, are you not? You now know you should make your own sound judgment on what foods you should and shouldn't eat, correct? If you're going to be "unhappy" about learning something that I already knew before I was 5 years old, then do us a favor and keep it to yourself. I'm perfectly healthy because I choose what to eat, not because the government tells me so.
My question is: why do grown adults need to be *told* what to eat in the first place? Give me unbiased info and (my budget willing) I’ll decide what I eat.
They don't need to be "told".
However, clearly a large percentage do it completely wrong and end up getting fat and acquiring metabolic diseases such as Diabetes type 2.
In my view, recommendations should be available (and they are now). But the government utterly fails at this.
So, WHF, or anyone else - just how big is this "plate"?
Plates are HUGE today compared to dishes from the 1950s and previous. Today's 7 inch salad plate should be our dinner plate. No lie, my portion control of eating off a real plate instead of out of the container didn't fall into alignment until I bought a set of dishes from the 1950s.
@@madamesalamander16 That's exactly what I'm getting at. The dinner plates (or any plate, for that matter) is much larger than those of 'Yester-Year'. There's really no wonder why we are overweight. The USDA should update their percentages of portions to the plates of today.
@@humblehummingbird2011 Fully agreed. Coupled with no more home economics in our schools and heat-and-eat foods, our perspective on healthy portions are debased.
@@madamesalamander16 USDA needs to recalculate their numbers based on that along with a number of other things. P.S. Home Ec ... Now THAT was a fun class! Take care of you, madame 🤗
Too big.
