Counter to anti low-carb stance in NSW


Interesting link about the cholesterol, I read the summary, http://health.gov/dietaryguidelines/2015-scientific-report/PDFs/02-executive-summary.pdf, (which seems to fit very nicely into my lifestyle, ), where does it mention the cholesterol, I don't seem to be able to find it, and I still have space for a few more changes?
 
Celeriac- I appreciate your clarification. I'll edit my previous post when I'm on my computer (on my phone now).

You raise valid concerns, no doubt. However, your initial post came across as combative towards all Americans and I will admit I was a bit offended in how it was worded....that's forgotten now as far as I'm concerned.

I respect anyone who has strong thoughts/opinions and can support them with evidence. I agree with you that there is a lot of improvement that can be made with how we Americans approach the topic of health. Unfortunately, most of the effort seems to be focused on socialized healthcare and pharmaceutical regulation. That's another issue, but I personally believe there are more "basic" issues that need to be addressed first.

The good news is: McDonalds and Coca-Cola are both struggling right now. We are experiencing a quiet cultural revolution here in the U.S. as fewer Americans are eating fast food and drinking sodas. Both industries are actually shrinking in size.

It's funny (in a sad way) but McDonalds actually just announced they planned to start selling Monster Energy drinks for this exact reason. Energy drinks are one of the few beverage categories experiencing growth at this point and they've failed to increase sales by introducing new food menu items.
