: Episode 920 – Dr. Gary Fettke joins Vinnie again to talk about the strange but fascinating origin of dietary guidelines in the USA and most Western countries, the deeply-held belief system behind it, as well as his government-imposed lifetime ban on discussing nutrition.
PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS
DIETARY GUIDELINES
- Our guidelines are relatively scientifically unsupported
- People think of diet as a religion
- This is an issue because people worship certain food because of certain groups
- Additionally, the industries that funded dietary guidelines are BS
- For example, sugar and grain industry helped fund SAD
- “Cereal-oriented”, “vegetarian” ways of eating
- Evolutionarily, this does not make sense
- We likely will not be able to dissent freely regarding nutrition in our life time
- People like Tim Noakes get in trouble for speaking out against standard dietary guidelines
- Financial gain allows major conflict of interest regarding our health
- Food pyramid is ridiculous
- All propaganda
- Seventh-day adventists are contributing to our food fallacies
- Check out Vinnie’s prior interview with Dr. Fettke
- Medical evangelism further influences how we eat
- It should not
- Religion should play no part in food
