Yep, tons of $$$ are given in the form of price supports, subsidies...to producers like ADM.

-human health (Big Pharma - "ordo ab chao")
Many of the 'Big Pharm' conglomerates are NOT interested in treating the cause(s) of disease and sickness. Instead they are interested in treating the symptoms.
I am by no means discounting many of the new discoveries of the miracles of medicine.

-politics
See all of the above. As the old saying goes, 'follow the money'.
You intertwined these points very well.
The wife called me today and gave me a little list to pick-up after work.
I saw so many fat, overweight, and obese folks...children, young people, middle aged folks, it was a pathetic sight to see.
I am by no means an expert in dietary matters but the Keto diet appears to another version of the Atkins diet, which to me seems a very dangerous diet.
I like this guy, Dr.Mark-Hyman
Our American/western diet is killing us a nation and as individuals.
Processed food with loads of chemicals and preservatives.
Sugary drinks like soda, sports drinks, juices are poisoning our systems.
Greasy, fatty meats that are clogging arteries and causing heart diseases.
Lots of lard butts that are 50-100 lbs overweight who barely lift a finger, much less than exercise.
I am convinced that if Americans ate better diets, have moderately active life-style and dropped a lot weight, many could drop the meds, would have to not visit the doctor and visit the hospital.
Steps off soap box//
Sorry of TL.

A to Z study from Stanford researcher who is a vegan...
quote:
Over 300 free-living pre-menopausal, overweight women were randomly assigned to follow either the Atkins (extremely low carbohydrate), Zone (low-carbohydrate, high protein), Ornish (very low fat), or USDA/Food LEARN (high carbohydrate/moderate-low fat) diet for 1 year. At the completion of the study, the women assigned to follow the Atkins diet lost more weight (~10 pounds average weight lost in 1 year) and also experienced metabolic effects that were comparable with or more beneficial than the other participants.
Lots of info in the thread below

The info below is from other threads, but makes the point:
quote:
Whole food - I agree with the food quality sentiment
As little animal protein/fat - Conventional grain fed animals/fat and omega 6 rich oils = yes /bad
Grass fed animals /fats with omega 3 profile = good
The name of the longevity and quality of life game is to:
-maximize / optimize glucose partitioning
-practice relative caloric restriction
-preserve healthy skeletal muscle mass (the metabolic site optimizing glucose partitioning) while not overpromoting IGF-1 pathway (tumorigenic)
-optimizing the gut microbiome
A diet high in fat with moderate protein and relative carbohydrate restriction accomplishes the goals above while maintaining a robust quality of life. Strong hormonal satiety is invoked by a diet high in fat/protein. This allows for interval episodes of fasting (intermittent fasting) and less meals per day (if you believe in the limiting exposures to food additives sort of logic). Most would argue that this is the way the human species evolved to eat and manage food scarcity. In modern times it promotes compliance with a dietary lifestyle change.

Earn your carbs (as some posters have already pointed out).
2nd heuristic is to eat items that are closer in the food chain to the sun. Example:
plants (fruits ,vegetable) are great
animals (meat/natural fats) and animal products (eggs) that eat grass (great)
highly refined foods in boxes / fast food that have been adulterated by human hands (not so good)
---
I think that for some folks it is a verbiage problem
If you ask most people to describe "fatty" foods they will list off foods like:
Cheeseburgers
Fried catfish
While these foods do have fat in them, they are metabolic bombs also made up carbs (bread or breaded products) + high heat oxidized, refined oils. They also happen to be commonly ingested with deep fried carbohydrate sources (fries). I get the sense that this is the type of foods that people view as "fatty foods". Ironically, they are correct using this descriptor of the downstream effects these foods cause (not necessarily its macronutrient makeup). The more appropriate term would be "fattening"
In reality, the fats we refer to are:
grass fed meats (beef, pork, chicken) - think a grilled steak drizzled with olive oil and paired with steamed veggies and a salad with boiled eggs/cheese/bacon/avocado in it
fish - salmon (or most types are fine, wild better than farm)
full fat dairy, yogurt, eggs
oils - coconut, olive, avocado, MCT
nuts
The other big hangup for some is the caloric load of fat (I will refrain from getting starting on this topic....). Those who view the human body a spreadsheet have difficulty getting around this

Thanks for all this.
My wife and I are both physicians and you are speaking our language.
Diet holds the key to health.
Preach brother!!

So if people are healthier they will be healthier. Got it.
