The Federal Dietary Guidelines are really life changing. I think most people have an idea of what it say but have not actually read it. Healthy eating is important for healthy bodies and we need to keep sending that message.
Healthy eating is my business and not your business! You might like Soy Milk and I like whole milk. I like pork roast and you like lentil loaf. I like 2 eggs, bacon, toast and coffee for breakfast, and you like grapes, weak tea and a stool softener. The Federal government can't even deliver the mail, so why should we follow its dietary guidelines?
