Think this News story will lift your heart a bit.@Typicaltwo, I hope it's ok for me to pinch your post to start a new thread, it is just too important to be missed.
"The NHS, medical professionals, nutritionists, dietitians, school staff et al have all been influenced (indoctrinated) by the government's Eatwell guide (formerly the Eatwell Plate) since 1994. This is produced on the governments behalf by The British Nutrition Foundation (BNF). This is the governments 'go to' organisation for dietary advice. Just follow this link to see who the BNF's members are. Not the best advertisement for healthy eating."

Maybe every time we hear a radio programme, see a tv programme, or read a newspaper/magazine article that rattles on about lifestyle causing type 2 (usually accompanied by an image of a cake crammed in someone's gob), we should contact them with the info that is in this post, the real brains behind the Eatwell Plate, and challenge them to point out what exactly Mars and Coca Cola and the rest of that lot have to do with nutrition - could there be a conflict of interest here that would not be allowed anywhere else?
Might also be useful for diabetic nurses and errant doctors who have got a chip on their shoulder too. I suggest we print it out en masse, and send it to whoever trots out the same crappage.
Thanks for sharing that.There was something on the news this morning. Trudi Deakin was representing the LCHF side and Professor Simon Capewell trying to agree but not the fat thing. https://twitter.com/BBCBreakfast/status/734645639691173888. I thinks that URL has a video, just my browser (Firefox) didn't support it. BLOOMING 'PUTERS.

You do know the can of fizzy drink was taken off the guide?
And chocolate was taken off the plate and stated they're not needed in the diet?
'Eat small amounts and less often' is the tagline for chocolate.
Coca Cola and Mars will be wanting their money back I guess?
No, I didn't, thanks for the clarification. Bit thickheaded to have it there in the first place, wouldn't you agree? I don't know if the companies would like refunds, you obviously think they will?
I'd still like to know what either of them have to do with nutrition.
I always listen, never shout. And if paying the money means compromising my integrity - no thanks
