Yes, but look at the comments. Americans are obsessed with meat. They actively believe that mostly meat diets are somehow much more healthy than mostly carb and vegetable diets.

None of them want to eat only grains and vegetables, and meat is both the most expensive food and also the most damaging to the environment, which I guess is a second thing Americans seem not to care about.

Yeah you're right. Influencers have more, well, influence than scientists these days unfortunately

Something like 15% of the Americans I know are vegetarian or vegan. Though you've characterized the others well.

I think we need more education around glycemic index. Protein and fats burn slowly enough that they're not going to spike your blood sugar. Many Americans think that they're the only nutrients with that property.

Scientists have never really had that much influence. See: high priests, religion, politics, &c.
