Actually diet is a very individual thing...some need more protiens, others more carbohydrates to remain healthy or to improve their health. Sadly the studies lump everyone into one pile and assume we all need the same things. I am one of those who needs more protiens than most others, carbs are not ideal for my system. For years they taught that eggs were good for you then they decided that eggs weren't all that great, now the opinions are shifting back the other way. In some ways Americans are unhealthy, in others we are the healthies nation in the world. Again, diet is as individual as you are.

I know we are one of the most overweight countries, with all the fast foods and increasing technology we are not as active as we used to be. I dont see us getting any better in the futures
