"Dieticians" want to sell more books/products/articles etc. and will rotate through all the food groups over the span of decades, driven by the need to find something new. Carbs were completely fine under the "Mediterranean diet", then it was fats being OK, then it was ... who knows what.
While I don't like BA's lounges food at all, I don't eat everyday there (as most here), and the fact that it's heavy on a food group is not going to make any difference in my overall food intake. The quality, on the other hand, leaves a lot to be desired.
