These NYT stories should be gift links
For those interested in the NYT story.
I think someone noted the picture doesn’t necessarily reflect the text very well.
There was another NYT story about the changed message about alcohol.
ABC also shared this about the alcohol guidance.
Oz’s comments on alcohol consumption are beyond stupid and, surprisingly, ignore science
Not to beat a dead horse, but… is anyone really surprised?
Really?
I think they got less restrictive on alcohol because nobody can read the crap coming from HHS these days without needing a drink. 
Waiting for the deletion but chuckling nonetheless 
Kennedy has no medical or scientific background but Oz has such a background and so there is always hope that there would be some reasonable scientific rationale (even when he would bend it towards his goals) when he discusses something
FWIW, it turns out that the written guidelines are not the same as the food pyramid. For example, the New York Times notes, “Take saturated fats: The pyramid suggests that people should prioritize foods rich in saturated fats, like steak and cheese. But the written guidelines maintained previous recommendations that saturated fat not exceed 10 percent of total daily calories, adhering to scientific consensus.”

come on now - why would the highest knife&fork/liked post in the thread be deleted?
The thread, not any specific comment.
could be, but the post i was commenting on was replying to Evelyn.
Right. But if & when the mods decide things are “getting” political, no number of forks on any comments will matter.
politics?
i don’t see any politics.
i don’t even know what HHS stands for… but i will have a drink.

Not to pick nits, but I think it sounds better as Paleo-ification?
How about paleo-fiction
HHS = Health & Human Services
Because of the dig at HHS. Political.
There’s no reason to lock the thread IMO – perfectly civil apolitical discourse.
I will take it under advisement
My daughter mentioned it and I just checked it out to see if laptop was any better than mobile (nope).
This looks like it was designed by one of those clowns you see in the corporate world who animates each bullet point line of his tedious power point presentations. Don’t know if that’s still a thing but when that “feature” became available on ppt, everyone thought it was so cute to have the lines slide in from left or right or (worst) come in cartwheeling.
My daughter caught that, and said there are many other contradictions, likely related to failure to proof carefully (changing something on stage left but forgetting to change its twin on stage right), and rushing it out.
Large portions of the website haven’t been updated either.
