The Food Pyramid Was Designed Backwards On Purpose with Courtney Swan

I mean, it's just the over-processing of our food.

The Dr Pompa Podcast
The Food Pyramid Was Designed Backwards On Purpose with Courtney Swan

And that's what I really got into when I started learning about our food system and how we've

largely stopped eating real food.

The Dr Pompa Podcast

So if you look at Americans' diets right now, about 60% of Americans' diets comprise of ultra-processed foods.

And then they go for lunch and they're getting an ultra-processed sandwich that, you know, is enriched flour, processed deli meat that probably has nitrates and nitrites, a laundry list of ingredients that's in that bread.

and vegetables that are soggy and probably have no nutrients whatsoever.

And then you go to dinner and maybe they go out to eat, maybe they go through the drive-thru and they get McDonald's or maybe they're eating something at home, but it's probably still like a frozen pizza or whatever it is.
