Description

Do you trust food guidelines written by politicians?—- Exposing the flaws and misuse of science in the formation of our nation’s dietary guidelines.—- Revealing the political nature of these guidelines from an agency with a vested interest in promoting certain foods.—- School children will suffer the most.A fascinating wake-up call for anyone assuming the government must be doing its best to ensure the health of Americans.    In this two hour press conference from February 2011, the Weston A. Price Foundation made its criticisms of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s dietary guidelines crystal clear. In references to scientific literature, personal experience, and professional anecdotal evidence, speakers demonstrated how the USDA dietary guidelines are not based in current science and have resulted in a 30 year decline in our population’s health.    Including the problems with low-fat, high-carb diets and their particularly insidious effects on growing children, and also laying bare the troubling conflict of interest in having an agency that promotes commodities tell us what we should eat.    This video is a wonderful starting place for anyone interested in understanding how we got to a place where so many people feel unwell and are grappling with diabetes and obesity. We have been encouraged to follow an untested diet rather than eat traditional foods that would sustain us as they did our ancestors.A single MP4 video file — 2 hours.Weston A.
