How Americans will view the new food pyramid 🤣 still don't have a lot of hope for whole grains though
Also, how Americans implemented the old My Plate 🫠
You can change the graphic however you want, but you can't change the American preference. America is a product of the food environment and their personal preferences + values.
I'm also not trying to dunk on those who work in public health. Doesn't matter what you put up there, y'all got an uphill battle. 😅 You could have the "perfect" diagram for people to follow- but it doesn't mean they're going to choose health for themselves.
The nutrition crisis has a lot of external components that make choosing health difficult. This is why glp-1s have gotten so popular. I don't blame people for wanting the noise to be quieted.
That being said, as long as the preferences remain for hyper processed and hyperpalatable foods, that's what the environment is going to be and that's how the markets are going to be driven.
For everyone who seeks and values health, development of their personal nutrition strategies in a nutritional war zone will be a must.
Also, this isn't an anti-animal food post. However, I do think the way that we consume animal foods is highly problematic and unethical.
In good news, alcohol consumption is on the decline. 😎
