Remember the old food pyramid? “6-11 servings of bread, pasta, and cereal a day!” They told us to mainline carbs, demonized fat, and sold it as “science.” Turns out it was corporate junk science wrapped in a government seal. We got fatter, sicker, and more dependent on Big Food + Big Pharma.
Question everything. Especially “official” charts…
Any food science folk out there wanna remake the food pyramid coreectly?

Chapter 9 from The Fiat Standard by Saifedean Ammous
https://saifedean.com/fiatfood
Money, being a part of every economic transaction, has a pervasive effect on most aspects of life. The mechanics of fiat money outlined in the first section of this book create several distortions significant to food markets.
This chapter focuses on examining two particular distortions: how fiat’s incentives for raising time preference impact farmland production and food consumption choices; and how fiat government financing facilitates an activist government role in the food market through farm policy, food subsidies, and dietary guidelines.
The next section examines the most prevalent foods promoted by fiat, and the health impacts they have had. The chapter concludes with a discussion of non-fiat food. What would modern food and food science have looked like without the century of fiat? The fascinating work of Weston Price explains the meat of the matter.
This is the guideline that hospital are still giving to their patients.
