Death By Food Pyramid (2014) - Plot & Excerpts

Very informative on the science and history of the USDA's Food Pyramid (now MyPlate but essentially the same guidelines). If you want to know how and why government recommendations for our diet came into being, you will get the story here in a very readable way. AS you can tell by the title, those recommendations are highly suspect on many levels. The author also takes a look at three popular diets/programs (Paleo/Ancestral/Plant - based Whole Foods)as well as commenting some on vegetarian/veganism. If you are religiously devoted to one of these you won't get 100% affirmation from this book that your tribe is right and the others are wrong. She does discuss where they all agree on how the Food Pyramid has led us astray. Overall a very good book with evidence backed info on wholesome nutrition. Great book! It has always boggled me how anyone can tryst the government dietary recommendations, but not any thing else they do. The food guides are written by lobbyists for the food industry, not by anyone who knows anything about nutrition."We are fed by a food industry which pays no attention to health, and treated by a health care industry which pays no attention to food" Wendell BarryI highly recommend this book to anyone who eats.
