This is a step in the right direction, but I still think too many grains.

Agreed, and there's another problem, and that's when you go out to eat, you're basically trained to place a very small emphasis on the more healthy portions.

We're conditioned to think we need 10 to 12 oz of meat rather than 7 oz, a ton of carbs and gravy, and an insignificant green thing most people could care less about, and fresh fruits are pretty much non existent. When you consider that, it's no great wonder. A really killer salad is almost unheard of at most places. Instead they give you some iceberg crap, with store bought dressing, or if they do give you interesting items, its drowned in a sea of some nasty dressing, and then people say they aren't really salad people. Truth be known, they're normal. Nobody likes shite that tastes like crap, and if that's people's reference to a salad most of the time, then yeah, it's a no brainier they aren't salad people. Same goes for veg. I can't tell you how many people are won over to doing good fresh veg with flavor. I crave it, but because of what you get most places, vegetables are not at all in focus to that of the meat. It's all about the protein and carbs, and although we need that, it's clearly not balanced, and that's our conditioning.
