The food pyramid has been replaced by a food plate, er, nutrition plate.
This will surely help obesity, heart disease, alzheimers, cancer, and all the other diseases of western civilization. Granted, 2 of the 5 food “groups” on that plate cause all that nonsense, but gotta keep big agriculture and big pharmaceutical workers employed so that they can afford the assinine health care system that keeps them alive despite their food pyramid, er, plate.
I’d rather be fat than eat the deck of cards sized piece of beef/chicken my doctor wants for a serving size.
That’s the sad part. Ditch the grains and eat as much meat as you can stuff down your throat and I guarantee you will lose weight and improve your blood test scores. Especially if it’s grass fed or wild meat. Fat doesn’t make you fat and it’s hard as hell to eat enough protein to make you fat. High glycemic load carbs coughgrainscough spike your blood sugar, destroy your insulin sensitivity, and make you fat.
The world needs to make a low glycemic load potato and I’d be all set.
Sweet potatoes?
eh, did not find helpful. tons of other places where you can actually learn how to eat right. and at the end of the day, people don’t eat fast food everyday because they don’t know better, but because it’s convenient, cheap and, well, fast.
Yep. Step two is finding something to fry things in that isn’t fat and doesn’t make you shit your pants.
To much common sense in this thread :gtfo: .
I love how so many people love watermelon and it’s the worst thing on the glycemic index.
Fry don’t even get me started on big agriculture and big pharmaceutical. The reason all of our food has so much garbage in it.
Can I cheat by smooshing the portion down to cover the entire section?
Do some googling on the McGovern council. We’ve been on a 40 year dietary wild goose chase that has cost God only knows how many thousands of lives because a few politicians and lawyers wanted to issue guidelines. The health situation in this country was so critical they didn’t have time to wait for facts!

Which portion?
If you’re gonna eat grains at least eat the ones that are high as hell in fiber. Low-fiber grains are HORRIBLE for you.
“…the pyramid was tired out, overly complex and tried to communicate too many nutrition facts at once.”
Edit: I don’t see flouride on there but they put it in our water. (?) Where would that fit under? Is there a chemical portion we should be ingesting too?
lol we’re doomed.

No no, that’s part of the chemicals they push on us to fix the problems caused by the diet they push on us. Pretty good racket eh?
It was actually “replaced” before. The government had another one before this one and after the pyramid that included exercise. Hey look at that. I learned something from college nutrition class.
I was going to ask about exercise but I figured that wasn’t “food” so…
We should have 30 minutes but if we want to maitain weght it should be 90 minutes. ? lol I want to be fat so I will stick with 30.lol
The old pyramid was the same food proportions used to fatten up cattle. It’s absolute garbage. The foundation of the pyramid, bread/grain is utterly unnecessary.
I think we should increase the corn subsidy, that should make us healthier as a nation!
Actually, in all honestly, I would support subsidizing really healthy foods, and taxing really unhealthy ones, and leaving the stuff in the middle alone.
Ex: Broccoli would be heavily subsidized so it would be very cheap to buy and eat. Because you can honestly eat it all day and night, and never gain an ounce. Then the hydrogenated shit, enriched shit, and otherwise processed garbage would be taxed at a higher rate, which would offset the subsidies on the healthy foods. So, that’s self-funded legislation (politicians love to say that) with no cost to the taxpayers, and everyone gets healthier.
wow canada updated theirs’ almost 2 years ago; or more

congrates USA…
but then our quasi-socialist system has more to gain for a healthy population base…
Why would we subsidize a crop that tastes like a bag of old assholes?
How do you know these 2 things taste the same?
