Define 'today's health guidelines'.

Highly questionable reasoning - assuming you're referring to all the
good stuff, such as butter, etc. Starchy/carby foods are another
matter...

Again, highly spurious reasoning on both counts. You have no way of
knowing that. Would you just assume Julia didn't like Cilantro if she
had never mentioned the fact?
