If the food industry doesn't fund research, are we better off with none at all?

Yes, individual vegetables and products matter relatively little compared to balanced eating. But saying this guide isn't useful is factually incorrect.

Its an improvement over the previous guide. That makes it useful. It tells people to eat more veggies. That makes it useful.

Unfortunately we live in a world with imperfect information and while it's not the perfect guide for everyone, no gude ever will be.

The biggest issue with your rant is simply that you're complaining needlessly without offering a useful alternative.

You've made some obviously incorrect statements. The fact is that people are living longer, and dying of "sicknesses" they wouldn't live long enough to reach in the past. America hasnt one so well on those metrics, but the world as a whole has significantly improved.
