"The agenda of the USDA food pyramid is to expand markets for agricultural products and support international economic development"
The Food Pyramid Hoax!
By Arturo Fioribello
San Diego Diet and Exercise Examiner
You might remember as a kid, seeing the food pyramid and learning how to eat each day from different food groups. You may have saw it on the back of a cereal box, learned it in school, or learned it from your parents. You remember, right? It was Bread & Cereal group 6-11 servings, Fruit Group 2-4 servings, Vegetables 3-5 servings, Dairy 2-3 servings, Meat/Fish 2-3 servings, Fat & Oils use sparingly. Through time, most of America became obese and people wondered why?
So, the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) creates a new pyramid, because they got the old one wrong. Everyone is allowed mistakes, right? Not in this case. Let's back up a bit.
Anytime we look at a fact, we must look at the source, in this case, the USDA. The USDA is the sanctioning body on what we should eat- why the USDA? Does it make sense the Bread & Cereal group had 6-11 servings? You think there was a bit of self-interest in this? Afterall, 95% of human history existed without eating bread, so why is that our focus? Why is the USDA in charge of my food pyramid, when they clearly state on their website that the USDA's strategic plan is to "expand markets for agricultural products and support international economic development."
Should we even pay attention to this new food pyramid, now? If you want to expand agricultural markets for economic development... at the expense of your health.
If you're clueless on how to eat after reading this, take a look at a few of these diets. You may find that this is how healthy people eat.
