The biggest misinfomation of all is the USDA's Food Pyramid that's taught in high schools across the nation.
If you think about it how does it make any sense for the Food Pyramid to promote eating more meat, grains, and wheat over fruits and vegetables? This is why celiac disease is rising.
Also, milk consumption needs to be reconsidered because many people- without even realizing it- are lactose intolerant.
Here's a test- if you feel bloated or gassy after drinking milk then you might be lactose intolerant and should cut back on the milk. Besides, mass-produced milk is full of hormones that have been pumped into the cows. That poison goes right from the cow's milk and straight into you. This is why children are hitting puberty earlier than ever. This should alarm everybody.
The USDA is heavily lobbied by Big Food industries (Sugar, Salt, Meat, Milk, etc.) who pay them a lot of money to have the Pyramid promote eating more of their unhealthy food.
The USDA is NOT working for the betterment of U.S. children's health. There is no children's health lobby.
The hormones "pumped into cows" are the SAME HORMONES THAT THEY PRODUCE NATURALLY. If the farmer didn't inject the cow with rBGH, the cow would STILL be producing BGH, and it would STILL end up in your milk. The end result, in the carton, has an amount of hormone presence in the same "PPM" (parts per million) range as it is supposed to have, whether from an injection or natural, and in fact there exists NO WAY TO MEASURE which of those PPMs is natural or synthetic, because they are chemically identical.
It isn't poison, and in fact, PEOPLE produce this substance as well. The only difference is, the BGH is *bovine* growth hormone, and HGH is *human* growth hormone. Just like pigs have a growth hormone, and ducks have a growth hormone, and cats have a growth hormone. All animals that grow, have a growth hormone. None of these hormones are poison. They are a necessary function of their anatomy and you will find trace amounts of it in ALL animal products you consume. If you eat meat, you are ingesting animal growth hormone.

Just because the human body produces hormones doesn't mean it deals with ingested hormones well. Also, milk contains far more hormones than meat does....

The main reason for the increase in the number of people being diagnosed with Celiac has more to do with the medical community finally becoming more aware of the symptoms of Celiac. Celiac can only be detected from specific blood tests and biopsies. People have had Celiac for ages but have gone undiagnosed because they weren't given the proper tests.
If you could see the way our meat is raised you'd be appalled. The stuff we get from grocery store's doesn't even taste like real meat. My parents raise beef cattle and that is where we get all our beef, can't eat the stuff at the store anymore. It doesn't taste right.
I want to try the 100 day 100 mile challenge this summer but need to research it more to be sure I can get what I need. We have a lot of Amish neighbors but they use A LOT of chemicals on their produce. I found this website last year and have been using it to find farms: Community Supported Agriculture - LocalHarvest. These guys aren't USDA organic, they are like my folks, committed to being organic but not wanting to take the time and jump through the hoops required to be USDA organic. I've visited a couple of the farms, but don't want to commit yet. The first farm I tried I didn't like their food, I think it was the butcher they were using, cut the meat wrong.
We need to revolutionize our food system. It needs to come away from corporations and back to local mom and pop farmers.
Edited: I put in the csa for my county, its been fixed, should be able to look by your own zipcode.

Reason: Wrong Site
If you think this is 'rubbish' you are just as brainwashed as they want you to be...do some research.
Who exactly are "they"? I'm looking at the science and the "11 lies" in the article are ironically lies....
Low-carbohydrate advocates, like the article in the OP, like to take advantage of the fact that our understanding of cholesterol, fats, etc has changed (matured) over the last few decades. So, for example, as our understanding of cholesterol matured its now known that dietary cholesterol isn't the red flag that it once was believed to be.....there are other factors that are just as important. But to go from this to the idea that dietary cholesterol doesn't matter, well, that is a distortion of the science...
That website is a cleverly disguised Paleo Diet promotion.
And paleos are some of the most obnoxious kinds. I think it's a valid approach to eating but they're so aggressive with their pseudoscience and insistence that everyone else is stupid and wrong, I want to eat a muffin just to peeve them off.
