Question

Who Is to Blame for the American Diet?
Re "Why Your New Year's Diet is Doomed", Jan. 11

Mark Bittman is right to point out how much processed, low-nutrition "junk" is in the American
diet
Yes, the food industry is partly responsible for giving us terrible foods, and yes, it is easy to
fall into bad but convenient eating habits. But the medical profession and other nutrition
experts are responsible too. They have, for many decades, prohibited protein-rich foods like
meat, eggs and dairy, and move to high-carbohydrate diets. That pretty much opened the
door to processed foods and the authoritative conviction that they were good for us because
cholesterol was the monster.
But we are responsible for making bad food choices too. Many people have never learned
how to cook even basic meals. Perhaps we need to return to home economics classes at
school with an emphasis on basic culinary skills.
Grill a piece of chicken,
steam some broccoli and
add some Parmesan
cheese. It's not difficult, and
it takes only a few minutes,
