- rdtsc 12y agoAs we've read in the recent front page article about cereal. The food and agricultural lobby is heavily involved in "recommended food pyramid" agenda. The most recent change I think was to make it a strange looking thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_guide_pyramid#mediaviewer/File:MyPyramidFood.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_guide_pyramid#mediaviewer... With "milk" being it own category. (Hello Milk Lobby) and then some humanoid shape running up the stairs. Basically the message is "eat whatever is marketed to you, but if you get fat is because you didn't run up the stairs enough".
