It's absolutely astonishing to me that after the absolutely catastrophic response to the pandemic by 3-letter agencies like the CDC, WHO, and FDA, people still believe their advice when it comes to nutrition. The output of those agencies is just a toxic mishmash of various special interests, it has no relationship to reality. These are the same people who, 20 years ago, promoted the "Food Pyramid" with massive servings of carbs as the base.
