forcing veganism down people's throats they never tell you that plants produce antinutrients, hormone disruptors, and other toxins to defend themselves from being eaten
I eat a lot more veggies and fruit than I ever have and I do feel better about it but, I have an issue with not eating meat, plant based protein is not the same as meat protein. Also they didnt mention wine or scotch which I consider part of the four major food groups.

Low carb diet for decades is the only way I an lose or maintain weight. And I love steak and even Atkins breakfasts and Pizza toss into microwave .;
However, when in Toronto area (usually near airport) I eat normal and gain 5-10 lbs in 10 days. Denny's, and my favorite late night Timmy's but don't always have the choices of sandwiches I like that they have during the days.,
Speaking of Timmy's - it was great they saved the starving on the United Airlines flight stuck for 18 hours with 250 folks on board when had to land at Goose Bay airport in Newfoundland with a windchill of -47F. Couldn't take off again since a door was frozen shut. It was about 9PM and the custom guys were not on duty so could not go into the terminal but stuck in cold aircraft for like 18 hours until a rescue plane was sent. The flight was from Newark to Hong Kong so it wasn't as if there were terriosts to attack Canada on board. But no customs agent so no get off of place running out of food until the TImmy's coffee and donuts made it on the plane.

I had two, yesterday. In fact, that's all I eat- meat. Feels great, lost weight and I'm feeling better than when I was in my twenties. Not to mention that my mojo is back and my memory is sharper.
You are not the first person I've heard making this attestation with good results. Question now is whether the food guide recommendations are comprehensively accurate or is there an underlying conspiracy going on that's not really aiming at promoting health and wellness?:decision:
People who value their health and regulate food intake based on what their bodies are telling them, don’t need a food guide. . People who stuff garbage such as processed foods, junk food snacks , and sodapop, down their and their children’s throats, cAn not read food guides , or simply have no interest in consulting a food guide. Food guide won’t fix rampant obesity nor unhealthy lifestyles
I only plan to become a vegetarian, I read a lot and speak on this topic. Vegetables, fruits, berries and nuts are very useful, they have a good effect on human skin. I love cereals, but it is difficult to refuse meat. It is important for me that with vegetarian food I get a lot of vitamins and minerals that help my body to be in good shape, I found a lot of useful things here tonusjournal.com
While diet might be a factor in health and longevity, I think life is often random and genetics plays a major role.
Here is a tale of two former supervisors.
One did not smoke or drink and had a 26" waist (I really envy that). He passed at age 56 from cancer.
The other is overweight, smokes and drinks. He is still walking and talking in his 70's.
BTW: I do eat red and white meat, even bacon, but not excessively.

uke:I don't know about motivation behind the new food guide, I'm sure it is tainted to some degree- most things are. I switched diet because I wanted to drop some weight and I found from looking into the subject that all meat diet can do that without damaging oneself.
i only look at the 3 letters in the word DIEt. Some work in losing weight, but you feel like shit

And my plow guy did a crap job in the last snow storm. What does this have to do with the food guide, nothing, much like your post.
The guide doesn't push veganism down people's throats, it contains meat, eggs and what looks to be cheese, thus it is not vegan.
Also just because plants produce antinutrients and other toxins doesn't mean it is a significant issue. You could use the same arguments to stop taking vaccines or stop driving, and there are similar but different arguments against meat.
lean meats -toxic according to the vegan cultists and if grain fed the paleo cultists
Fatty meats - toxic according to the low fat cultists and if grain fed the paleo cultists
Milk - toxic to vegan, low fat [sometimes], paleo and in the case on non cheese low carb cultists
eggs -toxic to vegan, low fat cultists
excess types of non fish - not recommended by governmental standards because of mercury.
Grains, peas, pulses etc - toxic to the paleo and low carb cultists
Nuts and seeds - toxic to the low fat cultists
Fruits - Toxic to the low carb cultists
Potato - Toxic to the low carb and paleo cultists
Greens, Carrots etc, the one food group that none of the cultists have a problem with, but you do.
So how is breathetarianism working out for you. Oh but wait, all those other cultists are stupid and can't science, and neither can every major health organization, only you are SMRT
That is like the old, smoking can't be all that bad because X lived to be 95 and smoked every day. On average it's a bad idea and doing bad shit on average will take years off your life. Do you want to roll the dice and take your chances?
Quite a lot in the inforgraphic is actually wrong or misleading, you need better sources of information. Vitamin E not essential, which is why every listing of required nutrients has it. 10mg of VitC? that is not only far below the RDA/RNI etc in every listing but it is considered healthy in doses above the bare minimum to prevent scurvy. The primary source of Vitamin D is the sun. Yes some animal products contain it, but not much outside of some liver and not really enough by the standards of what is considered health. Also that you don't get Vitamin from plans is not an argument to avoid plants just like Vitamin C not being in animal products [sort of] isn't an argument to avoid meats
Again, the chart that talks about bio availability doesn't actually tell one if it is significant or not. It is like getting all sex nuts and potato strong over finding out there is mercury in vaccines when the amount is extremely small and in the form of a compound that is easily cleared from the body.
