no, everyone DOES NOT know how to be healthy. kids don't.
:lamo:lamo:lamo:lamo
I ****ing love it, they put "protein" so they don't offend vegetarians. :lol:
What is that suppose to mean in regard to a balanced diet anyway? Are those shapes suppose to represent portion size or overall % of DDA? . . . anything that' suppose to encourage anything shouldn't be so vague that it's pointless.
Is my protein (LOL - which is funny - protein can be found in ALL those food groups. *snort*) suppos eto always occupy 1/4 of my plate?
What if I'm eating out of a bowl?
And do I always have to drink my dairy or can I eat that?
What was wrong with serving suggestions like they use to do?
You're right. They don't. That's why we have teachers like myself who could create that $2 million Food Plate with a 2 cent paper plate and some construction paper.
Those shapes are sized in proportion to the amounts received from lobbyiests. :lol:
On the list of things to bitch and whine about, it's right up there with Palin painting a flag on her bus.
Does this include the nutritional research required?
I don't like it. It's not necessarily the concept or the money. It's "dairy."
I was paying attention to the way my eyes see it when I'm looking at it. "Dairy" is the last thing I see, it's off to the side, and it seems smaller. I think it may down-value the importance of dairy in a visual sense. Dairy is pretty damn important, especially if you happen to be a woman, and even more so if you ever want kids.
Sorry?....

I think mega's asking about the 2 million. Is the 2 million just to change the pyramid to a plate, or was there some research behind it that was included with the 2 million dollar price tag?
I don't know if he's asking that or saying that my construction paper/plate lesson wouldn't have any research behind it.
Ockham got it right.
Ah, I'm guessing the research is included. But nutrition has been researched out the wazoo. Why do we need to keep reinventing the wheel? More fruits and veggies, less sugars and starches. Take a vitamin daily. It's not rocket surgery.

This is a stupid complaint. Food pyramid has been around since 92 when Bush HW was president and the gov has been helping with dietary guidelines for a long time. This is not a waste of money considering the last pyramid had no information on it other than different colors. Now people know. One thing I notice people think protein protein protein but for someone who is not actively doing resistance training protein is recommended only 10-12 percent of calories a day. Fats should be more abundant than protein actually in most people
The food pyramid is a lot older than that.
You know - slightly off subject - but I have a serious problem taking any such advise from soemone who doesn't look like they're practiciing what they preach.
I see Mrs Obama getting a little thick and don't imagine she remotely follows the food pyramid. In the same way I don't think that a aesthetician with acne knows a single thing about proper skin care. Or like the overweight gym instructor at my kid's elementary school.
*shrug*
maybe I'm snide

Not in the us. We first used it in 92.
