Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

Everyone is talking about the new USDA Pyramid. I like this entry the best:

• The Food Museum Blog – What Pyramids, Where?

For all of you out there that are complaining that the food industry’s fingerprints are all over the new pyramid, remember one thing: it was made by the USDA. This wasn’t an eating and fitness plan created by the AMA or the AFAA. It was created by the food industry.

Glean from it what you can and discard the rest. Did anyone really believe that we needed 7-9 servings of grains?
