The food pyramid is literally taught to every child in the united states, and, uh, we're kind of a fat nation. I think it's totally fair to call it out, it's not a straw-man, the government is literally forcing bad advice on people that's making them fat.
- calvano915 10y agoThe food pyramid has been out of date since 2011
- overgard 10y agoThe people that followed its advice are still around, and you'll have to forgive me if I'm not going to trust newer USDA guidelines after what a spectacular (and politically motivated) fuck up that was.
- hash-set 10y agoWe're a fat nation because people eat at restaurants too much where the portions are too large. Also, they have no self control.
