[QUOTE=Lambeth;30213624]What was wrong with the original food pyramid?[/QUOTE]
it was lame and misleading, as well as useless
[QUOTE=GunFox;30213687]And it is still wrong.
Grains do not play into a healthy human diet. Fruits are useful, but generally only berries are really very good for you. The rest contain lots of sugars.
Dairy, protein, and vegetables. These are the mainstay of any actually healthy diet. Fruits also play an important role, but they aren't necessary on a daily basis.[/QUOTE]
your body should have natural sugar, not all sugar is bad

oh my god, not their diary
[QUOTE=Zeke129;30213685]Unless you're eating [b]only[/b] whole wheat, the grain section shouldn't be that large

even if they are whole grains you shouldnt be getting that much
in fact your better off without than with, although thats pretty hard in this day and age

It doesn't hurt to encourage fruit because everyone loves fruit and if people are replacing candy with it, excellent
[QUOTE=Zeke129;30213659]I know quite a few people larger than myself who are trying to lose weight, it's one of the reasons I started working on it after high school
Very few people actively want to be overweight or obese, but losing weight isn't as easy as everyone who has never been fat seems to imply[/QUOTE]
how old are those people?
it seems like at least teens and young adults are willing to actually work and lose the weight, but a vast majority of the adults arent

Its supposed to basically be a personal pie chart that you have to fill out a survey for.
jews aren't allowed to eat dairy and meat
That plate makes it less clear to me. A pyramid makes sense, but dividing up a plate like that just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe if they did a pie chart. Maybe I'm over thinking it, but the plate does makes a lot of sense in that that's what people put their food on, but it makes less sense in that nobody divides a circle like that.

It took me a while to realize that most people don't like whole wheat food. It has always have I've found to be the most tasty, and I've always found white bread to not be that great.

How is a pie chart less clear than a badly done and inflexible pyramid?

Don't worry, the Fox News comments have the Michelle Obama jokes covered.
You have GOT to be shitting me. What was wrong with the original pyramid? Fat kids will be fat.
[QUOTE=Lambeth;30213624]What was wrong with the original food pyramid?[/QUOTE]
I noticed they removed the junk food category. That's probably why they changed it.
Instead of telling people to eat junk food sparingly, it's probably better to suggest that you don't eat any cupcakes.
