It is not "old reliable" anymore, apparently, because I remember seeing some years ago them changing the food pyramid from 4 food groups to 5. And I remember thinking when I saw it, "WTF, they took away Pluto from my childhood, now they are messing up the 4 food group thing?"
This pyramid is total BS as most everything in America. It should be upside down, you should eat carbs the less. That is why America is the most obese nation.
I agree that this particular pyramid is outdated, personally I switch the carbs and fruits and veggies.
there are plenty of classic YouTube vids pumping this stuff from back in the day. And when I say that... I mean waaay before stuff like Coco Pebbles. "Coco Pebbles" lol...
"Sugar in a Frosted Flakes Cereal is about 15.2 g and the amount of protein in a Frosted Flakes Cereal is approximately 1.32 g." "They'reeee Great":
Your question is impossible to answer as everyone will have an opinion on what is desirable. Animal sourced diets are all detrimental outside of protein and EPA. That's not open to interpretation. A couple of things. There is value to veg outside of it's phytonutrient/essential vitamin/utility value. Eating veg as an alternative to something with a large carbon footprint/unsustainability is important to consider. We could stop the climate crisis if people switched to veg-protein sources. More is better; IOW moving to veg-sources/animal sources has zero downsides. Does it matter outside of a cost/benefit analysis? Veg is always cheaper. Sulfur-bound aminos are the best sources of protein; so maybe source most of your diet in veg and supplement with animal proteins and focus on eggs. Supplement your diet with fish oil supplements.
