nutrition and its long-term effects on health are among the hardest possible topics to study because of the number of variables and lengthy durations involved

therefore, the body of scientific literature on nutrition is about as bad as it gets, especially once you start looking into where the funding comes from for a lot of them (you can probably guess)

now add in the influence of lobbying dollars on the United States government and it's "recommendations", and the picture gets extremely bleak: the food pyramid is a house of cards designed to enrich industries and protect subsidies, not keep us healthy

the truth is simple: animal foods are extremely nutritious and healthy; grains make us fat and sick.
