This week we dive straight into one of the biggest nutritional shake-ups of the decade: the introduction of America’s inverse food pyramid.
With a fresh perspective (and a touch of jetlag), we break down what this new model means for our understanding of a “healthy” diet, why the pendulum has swung towards animal protein and whole foods, and how grains have found themselves at the smallest tip instead of the base. We also wrestle with the philosophical, political, and cultural battles this shift could spark, and what it all means for Australia’s own dietary guidelines.
