. The Food Pyramid Is a Scam
Many people are waking up to the fact that Americans are getting sicker and sicker each year while spending more time and money than taxpayers in any other country on health care. Clark began by explaining how the food we eat is poisoning us. She calls the food pyramid a “manipulated work of fake public health.”
The food pyramid was created in the 1970s and adopted by the United States in 1992. It has had disastrous results for American health, particularly by minimizing the role of healthy fats and proteins and increasing low-nutrition carbs.
Nutrition expert Dr. Paul Mason has an excellent video detailing the history of the food pyramid. It was created by flawed and inaccurate studies, and heavily influenced by politics and not research. Since the food pyramid was set as a guideline, the average American adult weighs 30 pounds more than Americans did previously!
Secondly, the pyramid’s suggested protein intake is much too low, even though protein is necessary for maintaining and growing muscle, can help decrease unhealthy weight gain, regulates blood glucose, and so much more. Finally, the pyramid’s neglect of healthy fats has led to a misunderstanding of dietary fat, causing many to avoid beneficial fats even though unsaturated fats help lower the risk of heart disease, the leading cause of death in America.
These are just a few problems with the food pyramid. It has had devastating effects on the health of this country.
Tips to get more protein
The best way to combat a protein deficiency? Work on getting more protein in your meals. Romito offers up the following advice:
Include protein at every meal. Romito doesn’t recommend trying to cram all your protein into one meal. Instead, she says it’s best to split it up throughout the day. “If you get protein at every meal, it makes it easier to hit your total by the end of the day.”

Most people think success is about adding more.
More projects. More contacts. More noise.
In reality, the breakthroughs often come from subtraction.
Removing the one offer that drains you.
Declining the meeting that adds no value.
Letting go of the client who doesn’t respect your work.
If you feel stuck, ask yourself:
What can I remove to make everything else work better?

In 2007, ‘locavore’ – a person who only eats food grown or produced within a 100-mile (161km) radius – was the Oxford Word of the Year. Now, 15 years later, University of Sydney researchers urge it to trend once more . They have found that 19 percent of global food system greenhouse gas emissions are caused by transportation.
This is up to seven times higher than previously estimated, and far exceeds the transport emissions of other commodities. For example, transport accounts for only seven percent of industry and utilities emissions.
