This is a very apt description of Keys and consistent with everything I've read. He was forceful to the point of being the inspiration behind the Food Pyramid with McGovern and his "team" as pawns. Thus, it all started and all those startling photos of street and city scenes from the late 40s through the 60s where it was very difficult to find anyone even remotely obese are stark reminders. The quest to cure heart disease traveled along a very misinformed path.
