Replaced by a very sensible plate with portion guidelines. Needs tweaking for personally allergies, etc., but its just so much happier than that damn pyramid we had to memorize in elementary school.

Dang, I think the government has been reading my blog! Someone, somewhere realized that the food pyramid of old was painfully hard to read, let alone follow. Now they’ve adopted a pie-chart plate, and I gotta say - it may not be high art, but it gets the job done. Can’t wait to see what the meat and diary lobbies have to say about it! And there’s not even a dessert/junk food allocation. What’s a PepsiCo to do?!? Ooooh-weee, I smell trouble… and I like it!

And in case you missed it, the Feds have now done away with the useless Food Pyramid and replaced it with this “less confusing” yet equally-useless chart to tell you what to eat. The proverbial pie chart was designed by the USDA (bought and paid for by the Food Lobbies) and headed by food-profiteer-turned-food-cop First Lady Michelle Obama who, despite no experience, was paid well over $150K over several years for curiously sitting on the Board of Directors for TreeHouse Foods, Inc. TreeHouse is a company that sells cheese sauces, non-dairy creamer, instant soup, puddings, powder soft drinks, etc. and even provides for McDonald’s and Wal-Mart, its biggest customer.
Conflicts of interest are apparently only for fat commoners.
