[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 132965, member: 15235"] Lot's of good points so thanks for posting this. You touched on one of my pet peeves however and that is how people in the mediterranean actually eat in comparison to the westernized version you included. I have yet to see any significant amount of whole grains being sold or eaten, and pasta in Italy is much less of the diet than generally assumed. Breakfast is minimal, people usually walk to and from many meals, and people get some quality sunshine on a regular basis ( a feature of all the blue zones that is never emphasized). The grocery stores I have been to have almost no breakfast foods as westerners would think of them and there are almost no oils other than olive oil. People reading this who want to see what the med diet actually looks like can start by searching on images of the central market in Cadiz Spain, for example. Almost no breads of any kind. Also a typo, I think you meant to say "one does [not] need to be a scientist" in the nutrients section. [/QUOTE]
