I'm not an MD but after reading about how the USDA's pyramid of foods came to be. It shows how the power of politics and the power of money dictated grains as the base rather than vegetables. Or how eggs became enemy number one against cholesterol, not because of research but because someone thought that high cholesterol food equals high cholesterol in people. While it may seem to make sense that should not be the way to recommend food choices for millions. Where's the science? Yet it was sold as advice based on science.

Anyhow I agree with you 100%.
