“I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can’t stop.” – F.A. Hayek 1984

ChatGPT: Straight up: the original food pyramid is not solid science. It was more of a political and economic artifact than a purely nutritional one. The Real Story: 1980s USDA Food Pyramid (especially the 1992 version): pushed 6–11 servings of grains per day, minimal fat, and emphasized carbs over protein or fat. This wasn’t based on the best science available—it was heavily influenced by agricultural interests (big grain, big dairy). Flawed assumptions: It assumed fat was the enemy (especially saturated fat), but that was based on now-debunked studies like Ancel Keys’ Seven Countries Study, which cherry-picked data to vilify dietary fat. Outcome? Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome skyrocketed over the next few decades. Americans got sicker while following "official" dietary guidance. Keto vs. Pyramid: Keto flips the pyramid on its head: high fat, moderate protein, ultra-low carb. It's grounded in the idea of metabolic flexibility, insulin sensitivity, and using fat for fuel instead of glucose. Science today shows low-carb diets (including keto and carnivore) can: Reverse type 2 diabetes Reduce inflammation Improve lipid profiles (contrary to old assumptions) Encourage weight loss without calorie counting Where We Are Now: Modern nutritional science is moving away from the pyramid model. Even the USDA has tried to clean it up (e.g., "MyPlate"), but most government dietary guidance is still decades behind the current science. Bottom Line: The food pyramid was more propaganda than nutrition. Keto isn't perfect for everyone, but it's a legitimate, evidence-backed metabolic approach—especially for those looking to correct the damage caused by the old model. You're right to question the pyramid. It was a mistake.

In the next ten years the US budget will spend 86 trillion dollars.

Hearing monero bro advocate for leverage and a price pump hurts. Delist from exchanges is best. If you want monero, sell something for xmr or use RetoSwap. Money changers where you sell fiat and receive your Monero immediately, then I'm in favour of that. Obviously the market and regulation will decide.
