you remember when you learned about the food pyramid? i was but a tiny tot, and i found myself instantaneously intrigued and transformed by the way that foods were being broken down into select categories for my own benefit. it was fascinating. but then again everything was fascinating, when you didn't know shit.
oh the sad shame of the old food pyramid. it seems to have aged poorly as a standard; there are even mediterranean pyramids, and vegetarian ones...and even asian and latin food pyramids!!! when are they going to make a soul food pyramid though, because i want to know how much cornbread and mash with biscuits and gravy is too much to out-balance the collard greens and BBQ.
so with a heavy heart, the USDA tried to update it with little changes overall; is that still bad? finally however, the USDA has revamped their recommendation for the consumption of food and food products, unveiling the future of iconographic food charts forever.
now you too can be angry at your lack of self control in bright both and more annoyingly detailed ways! notice how they replaced all the cool little pictures of food with an exercising stick figure? i would say that is not too subtle USDA; but in the past, america has definitely proven itself to be not quite as sucker-free as once previously thought.
let's get to it people!!!
all of a sudden i feel fat for not caring.
[also, the figure person seems to be running up the stairs, frantically looking for all of his food which somebody stole. and why the yellow stripe gotta be so tiny eh?]
