Dietary guidelines from the government

It seems as if the government, or more specifically the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is catching up with what some already know: a plant-based diet that includes grains and nuts is more healthful than our supersized meals of meat and animal proteins and fats.

The 677-page report tells us that we are overweight or obese and that includes children. We should slash our salt intake and get two-and-a-half hours of moderate activity a week or 75 minutes of high-intensity exercise.

Now if we could just get the producers of fat/sugar/salt processed foods to read and follow the report, we will all benefit.
