I just heard today that the Food Pyramid we grew up looking at has been replaced by the USDA's new "MyPlate"



It is much better than the pyramid, although the government is generally 20 years behind science in most cases. Still, it gives fruit and vegetables half the plate, which is a big improvement.

I was listening to NPR and they interviewed spokespeople for each industry. Because they are exactly who we should get our nutrition parameters from.
