What Does our Diet Look Like?

From: Alan S on 17 Feb 2007 00:18 Hi All A little while ago I was made aware of Regina Wilshire's blog, "Weight of the Evidence". Up front I'll mention that she is a controlled-carb supporter for the population in general, not just diabetics. However, those among you interested in analysing diet and nutrition may find her post today "What Does our Diet Look Like?" very interesting. In effect she shows how easy it is to eat "healthy" and still ingest far too many calories and carbs - and too little vital nutrition.

I'm reading Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma atm, and am being absolutely horrified by his description of factory foods, like feed-lot cattle. Thank heavens we don't do that to beef here, and I tend to know pigs and lambs personally: but I suspect factory chicken is on my table from time to time - though not any more. I already eat fairly locally, but I think I'll try harder... Nicky. T2 DX 05/2004 A1c 5.5% BMI 25 D&E 100ug Thyroxine

Beef cattle can usually graze until they are sent to feed lots. On the other hand, chickens are fed lots of soy bean and corn products. The omega 6 fatty acids are heavy in both of these meat sources, but the little chicken fryers are raised fast. A lot of chicken is sold at fast food places and the deep fry oil is mainly the transfat variety. It amazes me the number of people that eat out frequently. Frank Frank

There is such a difference in the fats profile of meat which was able to find its own food of choice in its natural surroundings, and meat which was fed by farmers! In fact, it looks as though meat which is fed by the farmers of the rich countries is fattened for the market by the same kind of diet and exercise shift from its natural wild lifestyle which is making people fat in the rich countries. Not, I suspect, the right kind of meat for people whose metabolism has been knackered by the same kind of diet and lack of exercise to be eating. -- Chris Malcolm cam(a)infirmatics.ed.ac.uk DoD #205 IPAB, Informatics, JCMB, King's Buildings, Edinburgh, EH9 3JZ, UK [http://www.dai.ed.ac.uk/homes/cam/]
