Care to expand why nuts and whole grain fall in the junk food category?

Whole grains are still carbs. But nuts? Waiting for evidence.

Nuts are what stood out to me the most. I thought generally raw nuts were a great source of extra protein.

And good fats, and into-inflammatory compounds. They’re a slippery slope (or domino food) because you can easily get too many calories from them, but that doesn’t make them junk food…

Open mind. ✨

This list is anti permaculture. It just more ridiculous authoritarian elitist bubble bullshit.

I have always subscribed to: eat what you produce, eat seasonally, and eat a wide variety of whole foods. Which are usually not mutually exclusive. Eating in season and locally produced foods gets you 90% of the way without much effort 🤙

Agree, resilient and self sufficient. 👍👍👍

Nuts are seeds, which means they are the children of plants. In nature, children are most protected. If you meet a bear without children you're usually fine. If you meet a mother bear with children you're usually dead.

Plants can't run away from you or fight you with claws. They have to use chemicals instead. Thus nuts, being the children, have the most toxins to protect themselves from predators.

A great example is almonds. They literally contain cyanide. There's a saying that cyanide smells like almonds but the reality is almonds smell like cyanide because they literally contain it. People usually don't eat immediately lethal dose but it's still harmful. It destroys mitochondria.

Also plant proteins in general are not bioavailable. A chemist will tell you how much they contain but a biologist will tell you how much you can absorb - not much.

Curious why Chicken is adjacent to junk food, as someone who eats chicken for lunch daily...

Not enough fat, I guess? Also in most cases not properly raised. But still waaaaay better than plant foods.

because this chart is wack. dude’s got fruit, nuts and whole grains as ‘junk food’ gtfoh
