But weren't they simply following the lead of the most widely accepted science at the time? As science has learned more the government recommendations have evolved as well, albeit perhaps not as rapidly or comprehensively as they could.

- ncmncm 7y agoThe "food pyramid" you saw plastered all over your school cafeteria was concocted and distributed by the Dairy Council, a powerful marketing organization that has succeeded in establishing taxing authority over dairies in many states. If you wonder who's paying for "eat more cheese" billboards, they are paid out of that tax. It is more of an advertising cartel than anything dairies want. As you might expect, it is the billboard owners and poster printers who benefit most from the expenditures. The American Cancer Society, similarly, is mainly a printer of junk mail.
