The myth that obesity is health: Contradictory as it may seem, one of the most widespread myths in our society is that of "obesity is synonymous with health."

The myth that animal protein cannot be substituted: One of the biggest falsehoods to which the large food chains of animal origin resort is that animal protein is essential for the body, since they catalog that only a diet based on animals can provide the necessary protein to the body.
