Almost everything they told us about food turned out to be crappola

Eggs causing higher cholesterol is just another example. The food pyramid they gave us was also crap. It was practically the opposite we should do. Glad to see a new food pyramid hitting the streets! When it comes to the American Heart Association pushing the "low fat" diet...well, that gave us more Type II diabetics, heart disease, and practically every other highly preventable ailment that one should ask, was that the plan to grow more patients?

Exactly right on processed food

If I'm in the UK, I'll eat at pubs or real restaurants.
