This insistence in demonizing food groups or finding quick fixes by eliminating some sort of magic food stuff is fascinating to me.
Isn't it obvious this is incorrect?
I mean, go to Japan, where people live on white rice and wheat noodles and count how many obese people you see on the street.
You will also notice that consumption of bacon, butter, eggs and dairy is very low compared to western diets and even though they consume fatty fish they don't eat it in the portions westerners consume meat.
Minor point but Japan is one of the world's foremost consumers of eggs. One of their popular dishes is raw egg on steamed rice. More here - http://www.westonaprice.org/traditional-diets/inside-japan - it mentions they eat more eggs per person than the US.
