Agree....but what is stopping it? Food industry/vested interests...so what I am arguing is - legislate to remove corporate interests from the policy cycle....and we may have a chance at "healthy people, healthy nations"
As for what he's advocating: I don't think it's "back to basics" in any way, really. He pushes a specific, expensive, difficult-to-maintain version of a diet that is quite hard to follow in and of itself

Wait....I thought we covered the reciprocity of this to the ADG? We can't say "no one follows ADG anyway" and still claim "ADG are not hard to follow" or "are not expensive" or "can be maintained long term"??
-
And I put some publications in too.....about the cost of ADG??

*Some* folks think the DGA/ADG diet is a diet that is hard to follow. I'm not sure we get to decide a priori what other people think is "difficult-to-maintain."

Bc of our convo yesterday, I watched The Magic Pill. It’s a white guy trying to make sense of a western world. Many have gone before him, happening now, happening for years. Our biomedical bubble does not have ALL the answers when it comes to “what to eat for optimal health”

Now we could pull out all the arguments...pick bits apart - but the primary message - however you want to label it - is sound. Put it this way, if Pete were a Buddhist monk talking about connections between food and health would we apply the same criticism?
