"The food guide pyramid, informally known as the food pyramid, and formally titled the Improved American Food Guide Pyramid, was published in 1991 to replace the earlier food groups classification system. Since that time there has been an epidemic increase in type 2 diabetes which is now even afflicting a large and rapidly increasing number of children."

Type-II diabetes happens as a result of overeating on carbohydrates, blunting the insulin response. It's a fat person disease. There are some outlier groups, sure, but hypertension and other related heart diseases are are intrinsically linked to obesity. Smoking, little exercise, and low fiber diets were the main causes of heart disease in the preceding decades before low-fat diets, but now over-consumption of carbohydrates combined with fats is the number one killer in America. Obesity isn't a disease itself per se, but its intimately connected to all the major disease deaths out there. Ever since the food pyramid was released, America became a fat fuck country. It espoused a low-fat diet. High fat, high protein, low carbs don't cause obesity. They cause people to lose fat. Are they maintainable over the long run? No. Is it more healthy than a low fat, high carbohydrate diet? Yes.
