    No, they’re overcorrecting to the point of being myths in the opposite direction.

    • Carbs ARE essential to your body, but your body can make them from quite a few things, making them an unimportant part of a diet, especially since they’re easy to get more of.
    • Fat isn’t unhealthy by itself, but saturated fats make it VERY easy to over-eat fat.
    • CICO is exactly how thermodynamics itself works… Your body isn’t magic. The lies come from people who claim counting calories on the labels is all you need to do.
    • industrial oils are only bad in so far as they are not pure, just like most industrialized products. (think acceptable levels of rat turds in food)
    • meat is a part of a healthy diet, yes, but many people eat too much of it for how sedentary their lifestyle is.
