Clueless Is As Clueless Does

Boneheaded advice of the day comes from the "American Diabetes Association." Understand, their "goal" (to the extent that they have one) is to manage diabetes, not fix it. This means they want to keep you in a diabetic state so that you keep purchasing government-subsidized birdseed instead of food, and, therefore, keeping you dependent upon pharmaceuticals.

Here is the bonehead advice, from this website:
(under the heading of "What is a Healthy Diet?")

"Healthy eating includes eating a wide variety of foods including:

• vegetables
• whole grains
• fruits
• non-fat dairy products
• beans
• lean meats
• poultry
• fish"

Let's analyze, in light of an ancestral diet (you know - before diabetes was a problem):
Vegetables - YES!
Whole Grains - NO!
Fruits - Yes (in limited quantity)
Non-fat dairy - NO! (Go full-fat!)
Beans - Maybe (if you eat beans, do so in limited quantity)
Lean meats. Yes. (but you need real meat with real fat in much larger quantities)
Poultry. Sure (but you need real meat with real fat in much larger quantities)
Fish - YES!

A healthy diet is a way of eating that that reduces risk for complications such as heart disease and stroke. Healthy eating includes eating a wide variety of foods including:

• vegetables
• whole grains
• fruits
• non-fat dairy products
