/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Nah, man, the American food pyramid causes obesity and diabetes with all the grains. I go with the Japanese pyramid instead, no fat people there.

The food pyramids we have in the West do indeed cause obesity with all the carbs and grains. If you want to know what really to eat, just look to countries where people are still reasonably slim like Japan. Instead of advising the population to eat a diet based on grains and vegetables with lean meat and fish as sides, the Japanese government is telling its citizens to eat a diet based on grains and vegetables with lean meat and fish as sides, much better and the people are thin as a result.
