Wrong. Maple syrup is a necessity.

I eat 10 of those regularly, including the "butter or oil for cooking purposes" entry.

And WTF at fruit juice and whole milk.

2%, 1% and skim aren't on there because they lack the energy density of their whole milk counterpart.

I can see a point on most of those- those items could be just as easily substituted with healthy/healthier alternatives (like fruit instead of fruit juice).

However, saturated fats are essential. Not in the quantities that some people consume, but you need both saturated and non-saturated fats for your body to be properly healthy. So bring on the butter, lard, dripping or similar fat!

Funny, if you stop eating everything on that list, you're mostly left with...let's see...fresh fruits and vegetables, non-processed meats (steak instead of lunchmeat/pepperoni), eggs, and whole grains. Dairy is always kind of a gray area since so many people are affected by it, but you could have that too!
