New USDA diet recommendations sound vegetarian to me

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

In any government there are always the politicians and also the conscientious

diligent workers working hard to serve the population. While the politicians

have been working hard to support the cattle industry, others have been shaking

up the official USDA food pyramid. Every 5 years the nutrient recommendations

are updated, and the new ones came out last month.

 

I was almost shocked at how far they have come along. The word " meat " is

mentioned 3 times, but all 3 are health warnings about meat, and there isn't any

recommendation to eat meat, fish, or poultry.

 

Immediately under " Food Groups to Encourage " the summary points are:

Eat lots of fruit and vegetables

Eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables

Eat whole grains

Drink low fat milk

 

Its almost like there was a quiet revolution and the lacto-vegetarians got hold

of the official nutrition definition process!

 

Take a look at this and share it with anybody who has doubts about the

importance of fruit and vegetables.
