Well, we humans are not cows, we don't need all those cereals. We'll do fine with ONLY pasta and wholesome (is this the right word) rice. We need a lot of red meat because it stimulates our brains to think and other animal fats from fish like salmon because some vitamins are soluble in fat like A and D. We also don't need milk, that's a LIE, the industry has told us to sell their products, we can get calcium from almonds, sesame seeds and broccoli, milk is BAD and the way they get it is GROTESQUE to say the least. We need much more veggies than fruits. Another lie they tell us is that SUN is bad, Sun is not bad, it helps us to process the fat-soluble vitamins I mentioned before. And another lie is the "30 minutes of exercise a day" is enough, we need AT least 1 hour of aerobic exercise and a little bit more of anaerobic exercise. The contemporany diet of the Western man is the reason we have such hideous teeth and why people in their 20s develop chronic-degenerative diseases. Also, all the **** that comes with a plastic package makes girls have their periods at 8 instead of 13. The whole thing is so twisted  |
Cereals: Well yeah, the pyramid is only suggesting different alternatives. You don't need all of that (I don't even know what Polenta is)
The point is that our diet should consist of 60% carbs.
Meat: Not absolutely necessary, but it provides us with fatty acids, iron, most importantly protein.
Fish is much more healthy because it contains unsaturated fatty acids, which also transport lipophile Vitamins (A, D, E, K), and are used for membranes and is the best energy storage.
Unlike saturated fatty acids, they are not as much of a heavy burden on cholesterol level.
Milk: I agree. Adults are not meant to drink milk. Our Lactase degenerates over time so we can't properly digest it and it causes diarrhea. But it does contain protein, vitamins and Lactose.
Sun: I've never heard of anyone arguing against the sun. Of course it can cause skin cancer in extreme excess, but without sunlight Cholecalciferole (Vitamin D) can't even be activated. Sunlight is essential. Oo
Exercise: It's a general guideline. Every person has their own daily energy usage based on weight, gender, age, activity and other factors.
cool.
