Actually, beer is healthy for you in moderation. The alcohol is good for the heart, there is some protein (a bottle of Bud Select has 0.7g) and silica which is helpful in making bones strong. Just as a couple glasses of red wine a day is healthy, so are a couple bottle of beers. Also, a study on rats with liver problems, the equivelent of 1-2 servings of alcohol actually decreased the time it took the liver to repair itself, 3 kept it neutral and 4+ servings increased the time it took to repair.Is beer a health food drink because its made for the grains from the grain group from the 5 block health pyramid ???????
I'm sure Kamala will agree, most everything is okay to eat, as long as it's in moderation. The problem is when people have a breakfast, lunch and then go to a resturant and eat their entire dinner thinking it's 1 meal when in reality, the average meal served in a resturaunt is between 2-3 meals and usually cooked with a high-fat content method. Has anyone ever looked at the appetizer menu at a resturaunt such as TGI Fridays, the Outback, etc..? I usually find just 1 appetizer that is not deep fried.
If we just ate in moderation (portion size and the quantity of junk food) we would not have the problem today, but when a standard portion of meat is 4oz (a regular fliet mignon cut) and people constantly eat 12oz steaks as a normal steak serving and the only walking that is done is walking to-and-from the car, that does explain why so many people are obeese, not because the USDA calls french friend fresh food.
