UPDATES: Four alternative designs to the food pyramid in Slate ...
... and check out Mark Fiore's "It all started with the Pyramid" cartoon ... hilarious!
Agriculture Department releases new food pyramid with "vertical stripes." Not one-size-fits-all, either. No less than 12 styles. Can't wait to hear the howls of derision.
Two more disturbing items. First, a report from the Centers for Disease Control saying that it's OK to be a little bit overweight.
And second: those studies showing that moderate drinking helps you live longer may be flawed. Argument is that the moderate drinkers had healthier lifestyles in the first place. But isn't that precisely the point?
To me, it looks like the puritan food lobby got into the henhouse again.
