The SAD, Standard American Diet, has been updated:

The Dietary Guidelines is required under the 1990 National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act, which states that every 5 years, the U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) must jointly publish a report containing nutritional and dietary information and guidelines for the general public. The statute (Public Law 101-445, 7 U.S.C. 5341 et seq.) requires that the Dietary Guidelines be based on the preponderance of current scientific and medical knowledge. The 2015-2020 edition of the Dietary Guidelines builds from the 2010 edition with revisions based on the Scientific Report of the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee and consideration of Federal agency and public comments.

Previous editions of the Dietary Guidelines focused primarily on individual dietary components such as food groups and nutrients. However, people do not eat food groups and nutrients in isolation but rather in combination, and the totality of the diet forms an overall eating pattern. The components of the eating pattern can have interactive and potentially cumulative effects on health. These patterns can be tailored to an individual’s personal preferences, enabling Americans to choose the diet that is right for them. As a result, healthy eating patterns and their food and nutrient characteristics are a focus of the recommendations in the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines.

The Dietary Guidelines is designed for nutrition and health professionals to help all individuals ages 2 years and older and their families consume a healthy, nutritionally adequate diet. The information in the Dietary Guidelines is used by policymakers in developing Federal food, nutrition, and health policies and programs. It also is the basis for Federal nutrition education materials designed for the public and for the nutrition education components of HHS and USDA food programs.

The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans is the 8th edition released since 1980 and remains the current edition until the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans is released.

Radiation and Fukushima with Greg Barnes

Staff Writer, DL Mullan

Fukushima / Radiation

_______________________________

Interview with Greg Barnes on the radio show: The Broad Perspective.

This roundtable discussion centers on Greg Barnes' educating the public about radiation, different kinds of radiation, and how radiation affects the body. He talks of the foods that are alkaline to the body. Mr. Barnes also shares information about alkaline water.  

The main points are to protect yourself from radiation, avoid seafood, and lessen the chance of cancer through due diligence as well as to find alternative energy sources including zero point technology and nano solar (liquid solar cells).  

The interview then moves into the realm of conspiracy: fact or fake including the TSA. 9/11, drills, false flags, and LAX shooting. Then the roundtable discussion gets into the real financial system, fiat currency, and martial law.

The first segment is very interesting and delves into the fact that the U.S. is downwind from the radiation at Fukushima, that fishermen are not catching sardines and other fish, and that starfish are melting near the Washington and Canadian coastlines.

The situation at Fukushima is serious and it is about time the United States as well as the rest of the international community interjects to solve this humanitarian crisis that is affecting the whole of North America and Pacific Ocean before it is really too late.
