It's not news that official recommendations lag behind scientific discovery, mostly, I suspect, because changing the recommendations too often would be confusing.
This article's advice that we should disregard official recommendations and eat as low-tech as possible without any kind of scientific inquiry is complete horseshit. Classic Luddite homeopathy conspiracy theory horseshit.
On the other hand, there's absolutely no excuse for the amount of sugar and salt in products that absolutely don't need them. Why can't we have healthy frozen and microwave ready food? Because the marketing execs say there's no overlap between the demographics that want healthy and the ones that want fast food. Well, at least we'll soon have Soylent.

But not as generous as calling the onerous government guidelines that reshaped the food production industry and drove obesity to epidemic proportions in the USA "recommendations".
