the original idea of a pyramid was thought up by beaurcrats and dietitions bought into it. It is no coincidence that America started to become more over weight when the pyramid came into being. Wake up folks.
I remember reading somewhere that the whole pyramid thing came out at about the same time as the low fat craze in the US. Both were pushed by the government. Now, scientiests and nutritionists are saying these are a recipe for obesity. Has anyone else read this? If so, please pass it along - I couldn't find it again myself.:(
Of course now the craze is low carb. In 20 years we will probably learn more about the negative impacts of that type of diet.
Balance people, balance!
