    Federal government promotes eating unhealthy, sugary foods rather than meat2

    The National Institutes of Health is encouraging unhealthy eating. It recently funded the development of a “food compass” that encourages people to eat sugary foods like Lucky Charms, while discouraging people from eating common sources of protein.
