[QUOTE="CatsFive, post: 2649349, member: 567227"] There are many, many people for whom the recommended diet is an aspiration. They eat far, far worse. There are many reasons including money, the tastes they acquired as a child, lack of cooking skills, and in some cases not having somewhere they can prepare meals. If everyone was eating at least as well as those recommendations, the number of people with obesity, T2 & related diseases would be much lower. I think there is also the normalisation of over-size portions going on. I remember seeing some people who had won Masterchef and set up a restaurant. Apparently people said their steaks were best, meaning 'the largest'. IMHO many people prefer quantity over quality even when there are no other issues going on for them. [/QUOTE]
