But eating carbs was certainly emphasized, eg search Google for food pyramids from the 1970s, their "eat most"categories are usually vegetables and carbs.
- dragonwriter 8y agoBut were those food pyramids ever grounded in science? There's a difference between “the science was wrong” and “government recommendations served an interest group without being well grounded in science.”
- edanm 8y agoOh, if that's your point, then you may very well be right. (I thought you meant it wasn't the recommendation). I think that the recommendations either were based on science, or at least weren't really disputed until about 10-15 years ago. Then again, what I think I know about this mostly comes from hearing people talk about the issue, e.g. in interviews, forums, etc. But I haven't really read any of the source material on this (either modern-day or older) so I really have no idea if it's at all true.
