I have a problem with the name.

Open any Italian, French, Spanish or Greek cookbook and you will see a variety of meats, scores of different cheeses, and plenty of breads and other wheat starch foods.

Add Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, Iran, Cyprus, and Turkey and you get even more variety, certainly expanding on Dr. Keys' misnomer

Nothing could be less Mediterranean than that diet. And to say that the people in the Blue Zones live longer lives because they are eating Dr. Keys' "Mediterranean" diet is simply a lie.

Call it the Keys diet or anything else, and don't BS me that the people in the Mediterranean eat the Keys diet.

Sorry for the rant, but disinformation with the intent so sell me something just bugs me.
