A YouTube transcript critiques the USDA’s 1992 food pyramid, arguing it misguidedly contributed to rising obesity rates. The video contends that Senator McGovern’s dietary recommendations, emphasizing low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets, were flawed from the start. The food pyramid simplified these recommendations, grouping all fats together and promoting carb-heavy grains, which spurred a “low-fat craze.” The narrator blames government dietary guidelines for omitting studies and being too simplistic. The video suggests the food pyramid exemplifies the dangers of relying on government expertise for nutritional advice. https://mises.org/begin https://thinkandactlocally.com/donate/ https://thinkandactlocally.myshopify.com/ Youtube - @ThinkandActLocally www.youtube.com/@ThinkandActLocally Facebook - @thinkandactlocally www.facebook.com/thinkandactlocally TikTok - @thinkandactlocally www.tiktok.com/@thinkandactlocally Instagram - @thinkandactlocally www.instagram.com/thinkandactlocally Truth Social - @thinkandactlocally Rumble - @ThinkandActLocally X- @ThinkActLocally www.twitter.com/ThinkActLocally LinkedIn - @think-and-act-locally www.linkedin.com/company/think-and-act-locally https://open.spotify.com/show/601vtPzxdHl82EM42Hsulf?si=05017b5b0ace4edc
