    yeah taking out the grain subsidies and moving them over to fruit and veg based on lowness of sugar content and highness of fiber and nutrient content. That might be something to do.

      I get what you’re going for here, but the lowness of sugar isn’t really all that important if we’re talking whole fruits.

      Mangos for example would be considered high in sugar, but I would argue they shouldn’t be discriminated against in comparison to something like an apple. Mangos are also quite filling compared to something like a candy or juice of similar calorie content just like other lower calories fruits such as apples or strawberries.

      Potatoes and other starchy vegetables could potentially get a bad wrap too for similar reasons.
