Joe Rogan took on the Great American Diet yesterday, or actually, what is wrong with the Great American Diet. He and his guests score a few good points.
Trainer Jeff Cavaliere took it one step further over at his Youtube channel took it one step further and tackled so-called healthy foods that are actually pretty bad for one's diet. There will be a few surprises on his list. Enjoy.

Sugar is in everything for a reason - to get you to eat more of a product. These food companies make more the more you eat. Diet doctor is a great resource for diet studies, especially those of us who are already overweight and, especially, our Type 2 diabetic friends. Way too many processed foods make up our diets. We should eat our food as close from nature as foods come which would prevent a large majority of metabolic disorders from ever forming in the first place. Those of us who are at normal weight should scrap the food pyramid and focus on eliminating the amount of processed foods of any form from your diets whether that be processed forms of grains, fats/oil, proteins, fruits or dairy. There's nothing wrong with a juicy, grilled hamburger, but when you always eat it slapped between two highly processed buns topped with a slice of highly processed Kraft single as well as slathering a highly processed tablespoon of mayo full of industrially created vegetable oils on it and a full of sugar tablespoon of ketchup on it, it becomes a problem and folks want to blame the meat. Potato is another good example. Nothing wrong with simply baking one and putting some natural butter on it, but if you cut it into fries and deep fry it in some sort of vegetable oil(canola, corn, cottonseed, soy) created with gobs of chemicals, then it becomes dangerous inflammation. Eat plenty of simply prepared meats and veggies and lower glycemic fruits as your staples. If you're metabolically healthy, eat some grain based products and have a sweet treat a couple of times per week if you wish. But, this waking up and having a bowl of cereal or a poptart, then a hamburger and fries for lunch, and bowl of spaghetti with garlic bread for dinner, and a bag of chips or candy bar as a snack at some point has to stop. Habits are hard to break, but it's killing us and our loved ones and making big food, big pharma, and our cardiologists/endocrinologists/nephrologists filthy rich. Thanks for listening to my TED Talk.
@11:11. Ditto from me. Eat unprocessed, natural foods and live longer and healthier. I just pickled 3 quarts of homegrown jalapenos, habaneras and cayenne peppers in white vinegar to which I added some onion slices, garlic cloves, bay leaves and various whole spices. No sugar needed and will taste great on my hamburgers, tacos, and anything else that enjoys some acidic heat for flavor after a month or two of curing. It actually is easier and cheaper to eat well than to waste money on garbage foods.
@11:40, that sounds amazing. "It actually is easier and cheaper to eat well than to waste money on garbage foods." No doubt. Your body is getting the actual nourishment it needs and therefore it lets you know you've had enough food. That big bag of chips may be $3 but we overeat those foods because you don't get what you need from it.
I only eat what I grow, kill, or catch myself.
And I will starve before I eat food made my minimum wage earners who wear their trousers below their buttocks.
Jeff Cavaliere has a a lot of great advice that everyone should check out on his YouTube channel/website!
It's been a while, but I'm damn sure going to plant some "mater's" next year.
(Probably some peppers as well).
Spot on. Good comments.
I pickle and can vegetables that we grow, too. Here's a tip if you like hot food - toss some pickled jalapeno slices in the hot oil left in the skillet or on the grill after you remove the meat. They'll sputter some because they're wet. Let them brown a little. Put them on top of meats, baked potatoes, beans, greens, eggs.
