Brazil's New Food Guide

365andstillalive

Brazil launched a new food guide this year.

Looking at the basics, it divides foods into four categories:
naturally or minimally processed foods;
oils, fats, salt and sugar;
processed foods (these include bread, cheeses, cured meats and pickles); and
ultra-processed foods.

Far cry from the Canadian Food Guide, that's for sure.

While I think it's a step in the right direction, I'd love to watch the MFP community do it's thing. So thoughts, comments, game of capture the flag?

But Brazil’s new food guide offers a promising move away from industrial food and toward a more sustainable, holistic way of eating.

I get the tone of what they are wanting to say, but throwing out "sustainable" considering the waste of modern humans (mostly "unintentionally") is just not totally true IMO.

It takes a LOT of resources to grow fresh fruits and vegetables, and if there's no profit in it, nobody's going to produce them. So "sustainable" is always going to be the most calories for the least land used, and the least environmental impact, with the most efficiency in farming them.

Correct me if I'm way off base here, but ain't that likely to include corn, soybeans and grains?
