Just looking at this pyramid made me feel bloated and inflamed. What about those of us that cannot eat plants and instead thrive on the ultimate anti-inflammatory diet that is low-carb carnivore?
Yup, as per the USDA the nutrients in the soil has been depleted 80 to 90% between 1914 and 2014. The poor sad vegans. Then you add glyphosate (antibiotic) being sprayed on crops which destroys our gut biome and we can’t absorb the nutrients we need. Of course everyone is iodine and D3 deficient. The only full spectrum of 90 nutrients I have seen are from Dr Jerry Tennant and Dr Joel Wallach. They are pricey but worth it. I can’t afford them so I keep my immune system high with D3, Lugols Iodine and lipid selenium.
I had a hard time finding the best organic unsweetened soy milk from Edensoy, until I found them and ordered directly online. Much cheaper and shelf stable. Plus company has many interesting other products.
Interesting. I'm all for cutting down on animal produce, but I suspect this pyramid is a bit low on calcium though, if only having cheese or yogurt once or twice a week. You'd have to chow on vast amounts of greens to reach reasonable levels, especially as oxalates and phytates in legumes inhibit calcium absorption. Also vitamin E supplements have been linked to adverse health outcomes. And wine, as has already been pointed out, has no safe level for consumption according to latest research. (Sadly!).
Find it hard to believe at Doctor of nutrition wouldn’t check his work before posting an Anti-Inflammatory diet containing inflammatory foods. Makes me question your credibility. So disappointing
Interesting... Not a fan of anything soy. Where's my coffee? (not the sugary garbage - just black, maybe some half-n-half). I'm hearing the newest research is saying no amount of alcohol is good anymore.
Thanks for putting this out there — love the spirit of it.

This is great and as a hospice nurse (now retired at age 66) people always ask me what people eat. Especially those who are ill. It really is random. But the people who do best as I have seen it, try to follow recommendations such as yours but maybe not quite every single thing. But even adding a few things and eliminating a few things can be beneficial. People need to see how it makes them feel. I for one love coffee. With half and half. But instead of two cups, the second could be tea. Those types of changes are easy. I wish more clinicians would focus on diets to help patients reduce inflammatory issues. Too many people eat terribly. They have severe inflammation. Chronic pain. They gobble up Ibuprofen but never change their diet because no one talks to them about that. No intake form asks about that. So this is such a good thing to think about. What can I add and what can I eliminate. I really like it.
Instead of selenium supplements, why not one Brazil nut daily?

Where's The Beef!?
Seriously! People stay away from beef when it is full of essential things like amino acids that you don't get in many other foods.
Replace the tofu with beef and Soy or Tamari Sauce.

Herbal tea is healthy!
Rice and pasta? This makes me question this. Totally inflammatory. Is this the old USDA pyramid?
It is not one size fits all people. You have to figure out what effects you. Most of the eat most tjings here inflamed me.
Informative post. Thank you. It’s frustrating that it’s getting harder to find organic soymilk in stores. Hopefully it will make a comeback :)

How is GMO bad for you?

No steak , no thanks
Great
Yes, of course, tea! Don't forget black tea; it, too, has many health benefits, as do most herbal teas, also known as tisanes. All good stuff!
The voters must decide if we want a democracy or a Russian style autocratic kleptocracy?
