It's almost as if your lived experience is not universal.
Nope, just saying you can fit the important African American education into current history/social studies courses just fine.
So you agree win Ron DeSantis that this AP African American Studies program has no educational value and cannot be offered as an elective by schools?
I don't think grade school and high school should have elective courses. The amount a necessary basic skills/knowledge that the younger generation doesn't have is staggering.
Why not? It's not a problem in moderation.
This is just a truism.
The most important issue is whether "three meals a day" is a sensible framework to build upon for a healthy eating regime... and it is. No-one has to do it, and plenty those who choose not to will also be fine. It might not have compelling evidence of superiority. It might not be optimal for some people, but optimal is pointless bullshit for anyone who doesn't want to dedicate themselves to diet, which is most of the population.
What's going on with public health advice is giving simple and straightforward advice that's easy to understand and put into practice by the majority of people. And that's the real premium: simple, straightfoward, practical: so there's a chance even the most simple of people have a shot of actually doing it. At the point the rules get ever more complex and inconvenient, the more and more people with low interest will just get confused, switch off and generally take no advice at all. Anyone who wants to put in that extra effort and eat super-well can go do the extra legwork for what's good for them on their own, although I suspect a substantial number of them try out wanky, faddish diets instead.
I have literally no idea what you think you are achieving here. It seems little more than a straw man.
A spoonful of the most refined white sugar is every bit as much "real" food as an organic red onion is. "Real" is not a useful word here.
You're asking the wrong question. The correct question is "What is wrong with the educational value of an African American studies programme such that it needs to be banned"?
Because, you know, that's the core idea of liberty: we generally don't ban things unless they are sufficiently harmful.
The problem is that people don't know that eating carbs without said fiber is bad. It's not that you can't ever eat a cookie but when you think eating cookies regularly is OK, that's the problem. People eat tons of carbs regularly without the natural fiber.
I never said 3 meals a day is bad. I pointed out that breakfast most people eat is really bad for them and giving that up would be a good step. There's no reason to eat breakfast because you've been told 'it's the most important meal of the day". If you are obese, then you want to switch to your body using fat as energy and eating less meals will help jump start that process (breakfast is probably their worse meal and the easiest one to give up since far less social nature to it than lunch and dinner). The trick is not to deprive yourself of food (using sheer willpower) but eating in a way that you won't feel like you're depriving yourself of food as one is sustainable and the other isn't. You want the sustainable one obviously.
Public health advice in America is pretty shit. US nutrition "expert" literally just said on 60 Minutes that genetics plays the biggest part in obesity... That right there is far more dangerous misinformation than any said about covid ever.
By real food, I mean food that is present in nature that we as a species are used to eating and digesting. Spoonful of sugar is not something we have ever been used to eating for 99.99999% of our life as a species. Eating fruit is fine, drinking fruit juice is not fine as it removes the natural fibers that were are used to having with said sugars. Whether that apple or orange that you're eating is organic or not means very little. Drinking organic orange juice is bad but eating a non-organic orange is good.
Grade school and high school should teach kids important knowledge and skills needed for adulthood. Anything not in the official curriculum is essentially banned. A teacher can't spend history class teaching kids the history of like subwoofers for a whole semester for example.
