false sense of dietary security

This article pointed out that some students may "have a false sense of dietary security."

"They may think their diet is healthier than it is. For instance, during their freshman year, about one-third of the students eliminated red meat, but many didn't compensate by eating healthier choices such as legumes, soy products and leafy green vegetables, she says. Instead, they consumed more baked goods and cheese. As a result, they consume about the same amount of saturated fat as red-meat eaters, Economos says."
