When I look back on my decades of eating the carnivore diet I am going to go with the results versus what paid "experts" say. No grains and yogurt daily. Ate a dozen eggs a day for decades. I was looking at pics of me in my 20's and 30's compared to today and am amazed how I have remained similar!

It is intuitively obvious to the casual observer that "health care professionals" do not care one bit about us. Last week my doctor's physicians assistant (I don't get to talk to a real doctor) said I was disrespectful because I questioned her about why I should be on a statin when I had high LDL, high HDL and low triglycerides. Take control of your own life and help your friends and family do the same. It is the only hope we have. All of the information we need is readily available on youtube channels like this one. Take back your power and reclaim your life.

The bias and conflicts of 'interest' is sickening and has been for decades. Wake up world!

[SootyPhoenix]

"Conflicted" is an overly nice way of saying "corrupt".

Keto for six years here. Recently more ketovore. If I ate 11 servings of grains daily I’d weigh 300#

The Pringles slogan is "Once you pop, you just can't stop" 😆 literally can't stop, by design

[XaqNautilus]

"Processed" meat? What is their definition of processed? Hot dogs? Deli meats? Sausages? Canned Meats? Ground Meat? Meat that has been cut with a knife? I'm willing to bet that Big Food would like it to be all of the above although they'd never admit to it if asked directly.

At 1:50 the guidelines do not just “tell”! They MANDATE americans what to eat and large organizations what to BUY (schools, military, government, etc)! BIG BUSINESS deals! Thanks for the video!

It's like they've let the fox be in charge of the hen house - and we're the hens!!

That's so funny you mentioned that. Back in 93 I encountered the food pyramid. Tried it. Gained about 2 pounds a week for 6 weeks and said nope. This ain't right.

As long as I have meat and eggs I'm fine

[robinkleinsteuber]

Wild-caught fish, grass-fed beef/milk/butter, pasture-raised eggs, air-chilled chicken will still be my selected food choices. The crazy oddball alternatives really suck.

Asking these "experts" what you should eat makes about as much sense as trusting the car dealership regarding how to maintain your vehicle.

They are there to make money, not to have your best interest in mind.

[andredaedone]

This is what I think. I think people have become sheeple when they turn over their health decisions to unreputable doctors that do not have their best interest in mind.

[willemvanriet]

How is this not corruption?! Ppl are actually aligning their decisions by these guidelines! I did until I found your channel 1y ago

[vSwampFox]

I HATE that phrase. “All things in moderation”. It’s so WEAK! Its such a cop-out.

[crashbandit]

It would be interesting if we passed a law to make these people liable for the

The uni nutrition class I took (an absolute joke) was taught by a nutritionist who, when explaining the reasoning for current dietary guidelines, spewed out things that were contrary to even basic biochem FACTS & said dairy was terrible and only part of the food pyramid because "dirty money from big dairy".... yet it was unthinkable, nay, blasphemous, to question that there could be any external influence on why 10+ servings of GRAINS has been recommended. (Or why they recommend natural saturated fats be replaced by unnatural seed oils)

To top off that clown world, opinion articles, as long as they were from harvard, nyt, etc, were given just as much weight as actual scientific studies. (If not more, depending on how politically & fiscally charged the topic was... like bug protein farming) This is the current state of "higher academia"... treating mere opinions of "The Experts™️" as gospel truth, yet only a little bit of digging reveals that "The Experts™️" are little more than corporate shills (ironically adored by a heavily anti-capitalist reader base)

You're doing an amazing service spreading this information 🫡

How many of them had ties to the Seventh Day Adventist church? They started the whole anti meat movement. Kellogg was one of their thought leaders. The reason they started the movement was that they thought meat caused lust and masturbation.
