Same government that pushed the food pyramid? Where you’re encouraged to eat lots of grains. Basically the opposite of a healthy diet.

Same government that pushed nutritional labeling. Where you can even know whether something does or doesn’t include grains.

I lived in Germany for a year around 1999 and one thing I noticed was that, at the time, European food labels were strikingly uninformative compared to US food labels.

I've never seen meat get labelled with animal ate antibiotics. The labeling is useful and useless all at once

Does imperfect labeling mean we should abolish labeling or push to make it better?

the libertarian approach: it's not perfect, therefore it shouldn't exist

I've always assumed that if doesn't say there was no antibiotics, then there was.

The problem with this meme is that nobody adheres to food guidelines.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8004702/

Nobody eats fruits/veg. Everyone overeats salt/sweets/fat. Nobody hits vegetable/fruit guidelines. Everyone overeats the foods that the guidelines warn against like sweets and processed meat.

This meme comes from people confusing the health-washing of the food industry with what the guidelines actually were.

Because food corps advertised low-fat foods, people think that's what the guidelines said. Because Snackwells made zero-fat cookies, people think these are the grains the guidelines told us to eat.

We'd see improvements in health outcomes if adherence to food guidelines increased.
