In my humble opinion, the nutritional gospel we’ve been fed is a load of crap. From the USDA food pyramid or now, my plate, to The Questionable Link Between Saturated Fat and Heart Disease, we’ve been fed a lie all of these years to line the pockets of a few (Big Food, lobbyists, etc) at the expense of the many—that would be us, people, the general public.
