A new report from the USDA has found what doctors and health practitioners alike have known for awhile; Americans are eating far too many fats, sugars, and grains. The new report tracked how food consumption patterns have changed in the US over the last 40 years by examining how many fruits, veggies, grains, proteins, dairy, added fats and oils, and added sugars and sweeteners, per capita, were available.
Key Takeaways:
- A new report from the USDA has found what doctors and health practitioners alike have known for awhile; Americans are eating far too many fats, sugars, and grains.
- Americans have been eating more avocados (I can’t blame them), as well as fruits like mangos, apples, melons and bananas, than in the 1970’s.
- According to the report, we are consuming “more added fats and oils than ever.”
