- tgb 9y agoI agree with you that it wasn't great, but the idea that congress's approval is automatically s seal that something is incorrect would, I think, fall under the category of conspiracy theories. She had no interest in addressing the merits of either food pyramid. (Actually I think it was less of "congress approved this therefore it's bad" and more of "a little guy fighting against the establishment got beaten with his alternative so therefore it's good.")
