  1. Yeah, sadly many schools are forced to make up for funding shortfalls by accepting money from big dairy or CocaCola. When I was in school we had pop vending machines and got milk ads everywhere. Plus the USDA has literal advertising programs to make sure schools include more cheese and meat in their lunches. We are spending taxpayer money to try to add more processed nacho cheese to kids lunches at the expense of ditching vegetables and fruit almost entirely. Thanks United Corporations of America!

  2.  @LauraMolina-PaintDiva  Having celiac disease is one thing but you do realize that fruit (including berries) are a high carb food right? Also, all human populations ate carbs. Even the Inuit ate carbs and even though they eat a large amount of local fish evolution takes place over a very long period of time so suggesting that your ancestors evolved to not tolerate carbs is quite preposterous. Does your body not store glycogen like the rest of us? High fat diets were created for people suffering from certain forms of epilepsy and had nothing to do with the healthfulness of the foods. I would suggest your influencers may be cherry-picking their information but cherries a full of carbs so those "doctors" probably wouldn't know about them. But also, the idea isn't that you can't survive from eating high fat low carb diets. The idea is to find what the most health promoting diet is, which seem to be all very similar based on the blue zones. (I realize high fat, low carb can mean many different things from eating 80% butter to still eating healthier nuts/seeds, greens and berries.)

  3. Yeah Kellogg was legit insane. I think Thoughty2 did a pretty good video about him. But also bacon and eggs are not a healthy meal either. Whole grains are healthy but when you've processed them into a junk food, added sugar out the wazoo and call it breakfast, that's certainly not good either. Check out the blue zones for the diets of the longest living people ever studied.

  4. I feel like the propaganda conflating processed carbs with complex carbs has been so effective that most people don't know the difference leading to the mindset of "all carbs bad". And it's a huge money-maker for fad diets to say carbs are bad or to just tell people they can eat candied bacon all day and be healthy, everyone wants to hear good news about their bad habits. And the meat and dairy industries use of the cig/oil tactics of diluting the science with doubt, advertising, and junk studies doesn't help anyone figure out the truth so they give up. I'm not even that old but when I was a kid we at least acknowledged that vegetables and fruit were healthy even if we didn't like certain ones. Nowadays there are influential people saying broccoli and beans will kill you and the world seems to have gone crazy.
