Are you asking what it stands for? Standard American Diet. In other words, everything I ate prior to going raw.

Here's how Wikipedia describes it:

The Western pattern diet (also called Western dietary pattern or the meat-sweet diet) is a dietary habit chosen by many people in developed countries, and increasingly in developing countries, characterized by high intakes of red meat, sugary desserts, high fat, and refined grains. It also typically contains high-fat dairy products, high-sugar drinks, and eggs.

The term is used to describe this pattern of diet in medical literature, regardless of where the diet is found, and is contrasted with diets which have higher levels of fruits, vegetables, poultry and/or fish.

I think it's still referred to as SAD here. There's already an SCD and it doesn't stand for "Standard Canadian Diet". :)

What would the "Standard Canadian Diet" be, anyway? Poutine, Alberta beef, and maple syrup? Bleargh...
