New diet guidelines say to double up on protein, but nutrition experts are wary

man this protein thing is gonna get crazy - i mean think about it we already got so much processed food in our diets and now they wanna push for more meat? ️ like what's next? more sugar? seriously though, can't we just stick to a balanced diet with some fruits veggies and whole grains? nutrition experts are right on this one, 50% more protein ain't the answer...

I'm not sure about this new guideline on doubleing up on protein in our diet... seems like we're gonna end up eating more processed meats and junk food . I mean, isn't the main goal to eat healthy and balanced? Adding more red meat and whole milk doesn't seem like a sustainable solution for me. And what about all those plant-based options that are supposed to be good for us? It's like they're being pushed aside again . Can we just stick to a balanced diet with some moderation on everything?

I'm telling you, this is just another example of how the food industry gets in bed with our so-called "health" experts . Double up on protein? Are they kidding me? I think it's just a way for them to sell more burgers and steaks to Americans who are already eating too much processed meat .

And don't even get me started on the red meat emphasis – what about all the beefing up of factory farms that lead to environmental disasters and antibiotic-resistant superbugs? I'm not convinced this is about health, it's about lining the pockets of corporate interests . The fact that they're basically telling us to eat more junk food just because companies will sell it to us is a recipe for disaster .

I mean, come on, folks – can't we just stick with some basic common sense? Eat more fruits and veggies, less processed stuff. Is that really too hard to understand? It's like they're trying to confuse us on purpose .

I'm not sure about this new guideline thingy... eating more protein sounds like a good idea on paper, but all these experts are saying that we're already getting enough protein from our food and that it's just gonna lead to more processed foods with extra calories And can we talk about the whole milk thing? Like, I'm not against dairy or anything, but shouldn't we be focusing on the whole "eat a rainbow" vibe instead of all the animal-based options

I'm all about that chicken and fish life! I don't know why they're trying to make us eat more red meat , it's so not my thing . I mean, have you seen the new guidelines? They're like, "Eat more protein at every meal" ... like what if you just want a salad for lunch ? Or dinner ? Not everyone wants a big ol' steak . And what's with all the whole milk , I mean, I know it's good for us and all, but come on! Can't we have some almond milk or oat milk instead? It's like they're just trying to sell more protein powder ... sorry, not buying it . Anywayz, I'm still sticking to my vegan vibes .
