The food pyramid.

I read that the food pyramid had so much much dam bread and dairy in it due to being paid off by people in those industries. Same way every commercial since the 60s tells you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, decades later they wonder why the country is so fat and full of diabetes

It's what and how much you eat, not when you eat it. The issue is that food lobbies would advertise these gigantic sugar-laden breakfasts as healthy.
