How come? The national recommendations of nutrition limit meat to one meal once a week.

The food pyramid with 6-11 servings of starches at the base came from Sweden in the 1970s, it was absolutely fanciful and I wouldn't just take the recommendations of government bodies from that region at face value.

And national recommendations definitely always recommend what is healthiest for individuals, right? Not just what is best for favored industries, or the national interest?

Don't care.

Also recommend about 60g of protein a day which would wither me away to skin and bone. So I take that with less than a pinch of salt.

Speaking of which. Salt was the media and governments big nemesis not long ago. As were eggs. They'll move the goal posts frequently.

I'll eat what I choose based on my own bodily needs.
