Food Pyramid updated

minor news but for other health nuts maybe you'll find this interesting too:

I'm starting to eat much more fruits but looks like Atkins fans won't like how they stress all the grains & pasta. They also included oils this time but still no McDonald's. What gives?

Garrett Lundy

Oil? Oh yes, I want 1/6th of my diet to be purely of the "oil" group. Moronic agriculture & dairy lobyists.

FDA: celebrating idiotic eating guides since inception.

"Did you know that more people are murdered at 92 degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once. Lower temperatures, people are easy-going, over 92 and it's too hot to move, but just 92, people get irritable."

I can't remember where I saw this, but it sums up my feelings.

How did you come up with that Garrett? The recommended amount of oil is 3-7 teaspoons per day.

Even if you are in the male, 19-30 category, your calculation would limit total food intake to 42 teaspoons per day. And what would the dairy lobby have to do with the 'oil' recommendation? Butter and the like are in the fat category.

Perhaps you might read the documentation before being so dismissive.
