NHS version of the Mediterranean diet

1. eating plenty of starchy foods, such as bread and pasta
   
2. eating plenty of fruit and vegetables
   
3. eating some fish
   
4. eating less meat
   
5. choosing products made from vegetable and plant oils, such as olive oil

The diet is similar to the government's healthy eating advice set out in the Eatwell Guide, which shows the foods needed for a balanced, healthy diet.

That's it then the eatwell guide is the equivalent of a Med diet  somehow don't think people living in Mediterranean countries would agree

I believe non-dieticians are also being paid to put the agenda of Coke and others out on blogs and Twitter, and you probably noticed the vegan attack hordes who were previously referencing Plantpositive are now referencing Greger.

I'll read the rest of the Russells' blog later, I was originally pointed to it because of the previous post where they'd dug even further than Marika Sboros into who was really behind the Noakes Trial and found ILSI.
