In reply to the discussion: Sweden Becomes First Western Nation to Reject Low-fat Diet Dogma in Favor of LCHF [View all]sense
(1,219 posts)Or perhaps trying to stop the flow of information is what you really want. Why so adamant that people should not learn that they've been duped? Against science? No one is being forced to do anything here, it's about distributing information. People can and will do with it what they want.
You're assuming that people are stupid. You're pretending that because there is a name ("catchy label"
for this way of eating (HFLC) that means that people won't or are incapable of learning what it means. We're not sheep, much as that would please corporate America.
You're assuming that because corporations will take advantage (as they always have) that we should all just sit down and shut up. Do as we're told. Really? Lets trust the FDA to tell us the truth? How about the ADA, AHA and others who've advocated the very diet that sickened and fattened millions of people based on lies. Lies, by the way, that enabled the largest agricultural and pharmaceutical giants to profit off our misery. We were told (by those in positions of power, who we trusted) that low-fat, high carb was the way to health. Yes, corporations (who are not people) will profit no matter what.
You're also ignoring the explanations by others about why this plan can work for so many. Nowhere have I suggested, nor is this "diet" about eating 5000 calories of vegetables a day. You're the one being extreme (evangelizing) and trying to cloud the issue with over the top rhetoric.
You are the one advocating eating mostly plants, and that's not what HFLC is about. Eat good fats and protein. That will ensure that you're not hungry all the time. Skip the filler foods, like pasta, potatoes and rice, grains and sugar. Eat vegetables in place of processed foods. There is plenty more, this isn't as simple as you'd like to make it. You haven't watched the video or read the information or you would know this..... or perhaps you have and your agenda is just to obfuscate.
