In reply to the discussion: RFK's *new* upside down FOOD PYRAMID. Thoughts? [View all]womanofthehills
(10,721 posts)38. Now - nutritionists are recommending cooking in grass fed beef tallow
And recommending eating butter by spoonfuls. Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods - having every vitamin and mineral.
The old food pyramid emphasized grains - like 11 or so servings a day. Now grains are mostly gross - read the labels. Most grains are now basically processed food unless you make your own. A loaf of bread will last months because of all the chemicals.
I bake my own sourdough bread but I do not expect to get high quality protein from my bread.
