thoughts on healthy eating…from the USDA
for those of you who don’t know, the USDA came out with a new food guide pyramid. its kinda neat in that you can enter some information and get your own individualized pyramid and they also make recommendations on exercise. BUT some of the other info is crazy!! here are a couple quotes….
” it’s not what happens to the food before it gets to your table, but simply that you eat substantial servings of all foods”
“Irradiated meat is just as healthy, if not healthier than organic meat — radiation kills bacteria just as effectively as it does people, and saves billions of dollars that would otherwise have to go toward producing cleaner meat and maintaining the health of livestock.”
there is so much wrong with that statement that i dont even know where to begin. i’m in shock that anyone would actually promote that!
