My mom always said to take everything in moderation. Too much of a good thing is most always bad. I take the saying and apply it here too. Too many carbs = bad. Too much fat = bad. Balance is key. And by the My Plate diagram, there appears to be a good balance.
Right now I'm doing the simplest more calories out than calories coming in version of dieting along with exercise. And while it's slow going, I am happy with it.
Well, considering that the Dept. of Agriculture was the one to create the pyramid used since 1992 until My Plate was introduced in 2011 - then of course high carb/low fat is going to be pushed. Wheat, corn, barley, soy ... that's what they trade in.
