I respect your dietary choices as I do everyone else's, but that's not really the point. What I am saying is that meat, dairy, eggs, fish and the like are extremely unhealthy and it should be noted in a thread about "how to eat healthier". I realize that people like eating meat and dairy, but this has nothing to do with health. Meat and dairy's role in disease is well documented in the scientific literature, and quite frankly it does nobody any good to pretend that these foods are healthy.  

It's not just the fat content of meat and dairy that make them unhealthy; it's their entire properties. The proteins in animal derived foods leach calcium from our bones, they are deficient in dietary fiber, deficient in carbohydrate (except for milk, which is high in sugar), high in contaminants, contain dangerous microbes and greatly increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. The vast majority of people in the world are lactose intolerant, and dairy products are strongly linked to the cause of Type I diabetes.  

This is not my opinion, but it's all documented fact. You can't expect people to make correct dietary decisions if they don't have the correct information.

Have any of you heard of Kevin Trudeau?

He has a lot to say about maintaing good health holistically.  
He also swears there is a conspiracy between Pharmaceutical companies, Food Manufacturers and Doctors all working together to make us sick with food additives and drugs.  All for the money too.

I'll add that we need to eat as much natural and unprocessed food as we can get our hands on.

He sounds paranoid, but I agree that it's good to eat unprocessed food, and there are some good points in this thread.

does anyone think that 298 lbs is fat?
