Dis-Belief

Breakfast: I found the morning meals (at the lodging facility) less than optimal (i.e sausage and biscuit). Should replace with granola and fruit or cereal.

This was a comment left regarding the meal quality for a conference-like function at my organization.  I was and am stunned.  This person is one of a group of very well educated, very highly driven leaders, and is clearly committed to choosing food to avoid disease, and yet, they could not have a worse concept of what it means to eat 'healthy.'  This is the tragedy of USDA involvement in dietary recommendations from the government.

It should be a crime for the government to make dietary recommendations which cannot be backed by long term intevention studies.
