Healthy eating considerations

1. This website was designed to
provide nutritional guidance
and to promote the
importance of a healthy diet
to the American public.

2. The United States
Department of Agriculture is
claiming their dietary
recommendations are best for
maintaining a healthy lifestyle
The MyPlate model
promotes the
consumption of the
“Largest” produced
agricultural
products in the U.S.

3. Grains are not
needed to maintain a
healthy diet. Our
Paleolithic ancestors’
had diets that
consisted mostly of
proteins and fats.

4. This website is owned and operated
by Robb Wolf. He makes dietary
recommendations that contradict the
USDA’s MyPlate model.
His views on grain consumption vary
from those of the USDA.
Rob has written multiple books, is a
co-founder of a nutrition & athletic
training journal, and the co-owner of
a nationally recognized gym.
Therefore, this website also serves
as a promotional tool for his other
business ventures

5. Robb’s political point-of-view is to power your
body through food. This site promotes that a
“Whole Food” diet can lead to a healthier
lifestyle.

6. The information provided by
the USDA is valid but not
necessarily reliable. The
USDA promotes the
consumption of subsidized
crops.
MyPlate dietary
recommendations align
closely with agricultural
subsidy programs.

7. Can nutritional guidance
without bias exist in the
future?
