I don’t trust health advice from a man that looks like a plastic tomato.
He’s imagining you’re eating roadkill and zombie deer though.
There are almost zero Americans that are protein deficient. Yet people here freak out about vegetarians and vegans like they’re going to die of lack of protein while ignoring common vegan protein sources.
You could cut about half of the meat from old food group suggestions, including the Michele Obama one (which was more healthy and reasonable), and still be getting more than enough protein.
God these people are so anti-science and so fucking dumb. Men all desperately trying to look like roided out freaks.
I’m no vegan or vegetarian, but I’ve been eating way less meat and more veggies lately since I found a really delicious veggie stew recipe. I’ve made it weekly for meal prep almost 4 weeks in a row now. There are many days recently where I go without eating meat at all. I just got some blood work back from my yearly physical and I had too much protein in my blood.
I actually get more protein from the veggie stew than I was getting with my old diet.
You can’t just say that and not share the veggie stew recipe.
Seconded
Adding to what you said, I’ll just drop this here.
Thanks for the link. I’m personally not even vegan and only what I call “half-vegetarian.” I was pushing for full vegetarian until I was diagnosed with cancer which actually does require increased protein intake. I just think it’s dumb to ignore reality that the majority of US citizens are far from hurting for protein and that there are plenty of healthy vegan protein options from nuts to tofu to seitan and more.
the very first reference in that list is an outdated position by the and. it expired five years ago. it’s likely some of those other links also rely on this now expired position.
I wouldn’t take everything there at face value. you will need to actually click and read every link critically.
do you have to disclose your Burger King affiliate status?
Well said
Men
This got sexist fast.
It’s also quackery.
It’s literally a South Park joke from a couple years ago too…
Cartman flipped the pyramid, just like RFK Jr did in real life.
No, don’t you get it? The worms whisper to him. He knows the truth! You have to blend beef, fine Argentinian beef, in a blender then inject it into the top of your peen. If you don’t have a peen, take the cow peen and staple it to your face, then inject. Then you will be stronk like robber fucking lies kernedy junior! -a brainworm, probably
Focusing on protein and healthy fats over carbohydrates is not quackery.
An insistence on meat/dairy, that’s quackery, but Americans in general eat too many shit tier carbohydrates and fats and not enough protein.
We eat more than enough protein. What we lack is roughage. We’re all in on that ultra processed white bread and corn chip stuff with lots of pasta. The main foods we need to eat more of remains as it always has: vegetables and to a lesser extent unprocessed fruits. We also should shift how we consume starches to healthier variants like baked potatoes. But seriously, it’s fiber, we don’t eat enough fiber
It really depends on your activity level and what your goals are. To quote from your own source "If you’re actively building muscle with strength or resistance training, more protein can help,” said Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, a Tufts University nutrition expert. “Otherwise, you’re getting enough.”
Most Americans are getting enough protein in their diet because most Americans are less active than they should be and are already eating more than they should be.
Diets should be built around an individuals needs, though fiber is one of the things virtually no one is getting enough of unless your eating like 5 cups of lentils everyday.
I don’t disagree with that at all. Fiber is massively important.
I suppose what I’m trying to say is, given a constant calorie budget, people would be healthier if they shifted their proportions of calories towards protein and good fats and away from carbohydrates and bad fats. This does not seem like quackery to me, it seems like sound dietary advice.
That is true, the sugar (and corn,) industry at a minimum has run influence operations demonizing fat for the harms of sugar.
The body actually does not feel full until it gets enough fat, the stomach tastes the contents, if you have no fat you take in way more calories. Also, sugar is half fructose and half glucose. Glucose is good, used as is, that is what they put in hospital IV drips. Fructose gets metabolized in your liver into fat, then used, but the body does not recognize it as a food. It does not contribute to a full feeling.
Every time these dumb motherfuckers get thirsty they swill down pop, with the equivalent of 16 teaspoons of sugar in a 16 ounce. It is a major, if not the largest, factor in obesity.
Fructose could not even be utilized in human ancestors in the monkey days, it was not until a cold wind blew over africa for centuries that our monkey ancestors got the ability to turn that fructose into fat, to use for the periods when we did not have fresh fruit on hand every day all day. According to a national geographic article titled Sugar, now not findable on enshitified search engines because fuck you, (and me, the consumer not a personal dig.)
This guy would be our next president, taking the republican party in the succession, if not for his voice. Hard to give a good hitler speech with that impediment, probably a deal breaker with the base. Vance is not going to get it in whichever case. He was chosen because he’s an unlikable cunt so the president wouldn’t be shunted aside for him so quick.
If RFK Jr runs for president, I’d start to feel okay about history repeating itself.
Sadly he might be the “best” of the cabinet. Which is to say he is less of a piece of shit than the rest, despite being a massive cynical piece of shit. All the real stuff he talks about, he’s just playing people. Toxic dyes and additives, pesticides, etc. He doesn’t care about any of it, he is just furthering his own interests. The thought that anyone would care about the greater good fills these types of people with scorn, and disbelief. They think everyone else is a selfish piece of shit too, working for selfish goals.
There’s no shortage of unlikable cunts in the GQP. I have this pet theory that he was chosen specifically because of his fake name. Short, punchy, strong: Vance. Just like Pence.
Seriously, the fascists are all about projecting an image of strength and power.
Somehow half the voting population likes these cunts though. Or more accurately dislikes the democrats more than them. No shortage indeed. In fact I would hypothesis that all of their leaders are cunts with only rare exceptions that prove the rule. And those are soon purged after they are outed.
Vance was paired with his wife by the literal “Tiger Mom” who became their professor at Yale…
They were meant to be the Republican version of the Clinton’s before Trump showed up and brought white supremacy back into the mainstream.
They were meant to be the first “woke” Republican generation, and that’s why it so easy for Vance to seem like he’s dropping his wife, it was always a political marriage. They’re both pieces of shit who have spent their whole lives preparing to destroy our country, and neither love or probably even like the other.
At least it will mean magats die faster.
And nevermind the uptick in heart disease
Yeah. It’s job security for health care too. Clearly political bullshit, which helps no one, and encourages us plebs to die faster.
it might be true, but the data they used is specious.
the golden age of the Burger Reich, what an exciting time!!
Let evolution and natural selection work its magic. Only the right wing believe-all cultists will switch to this all-steak diet and promptly get all the associated health risks, filtering them out for the rest of us.
