I drink at least one pint of milk per day and eat mostly red meat, chicken, green vegetables and pasta/rice/bread. I work out and this diet provides the proteins and fats I need to grow and repair. I feel the best I ever have done and I'm pretty sure that I'm fitter than most of my peer group.
The idea seems to be that I should stop doing this and replace it with a bunch of processed stuff.
It just seems obvious from first principles to me that the motivation behind this messaging isn't to improve my health, but to increase the efficiency of feeding a large population.
There are so many areas in life in which I feel this sort of manipulation now and it's getting tiring to constantly feel as if my rational choices are pitting me against others. I don't want to continuously argue with my friends about basic lifestyle choices, I wish everyone could just chill the fuck out.
