What makes us fat? Isn't that the question that we have all been asking for years? In all actuality we have had the answer but the truth has been hidden. Ask yourself this question. Who established our current USDA food guide pyramid? The answer is simple. The United States Department of Agriculture. Who is the United States Department of Agriculture or better yet what lobbyist have the biggest impact on their decisions? This would be large commercial farmers. What motivation do they have to impact the food pyramid? The answer is simple, money! The government pays big money to subsidize large grain producing crops. What would happen if Americans were told it is healthier to eat less grains? We would by less and profits and subsidizes would be cut. I will get into the science of why highly processed grains are the #1 factor in why American's are overweight in a later post. Right now, I want you to realize that there is a better choice. Harvard School of Public Health has already researched and come up with a "pyramid" for eating that will help us be successful in our weight loss endeavers. Check it out and let me know what you think. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/what-should-you-eat/pyramid/
