Summary
In this episode of Simple Doesn’t Mean Easy, Michelle Visser breaks down three major flaws in the new food pyramid—including what it gets dangerously wrong about fruits, vegetables, meat, and especially grains. While applauding the new emphasis on protein, healthy fats, and real food, Michelle explains why food sourcing is the missing piece of the conversation. She unpacks why not all produce is nutritious, how meat labeling has misled consumers for years, and why fresh-milled flour made from properly sourced grains should not be lumped in with refined carbohydrates. The episode closes with an encouraging, honest message for overwhelmed families: real food should support your life—not dominate it. Progress, not perfection, is the goal.
