True, the food pyramid seems like it's effed up and should change. People should be skeptical. So, is studying diet and medicine and coming up with peer-reviewed consensus recommendations a terrible idea? People who followed that food pyramid would probably be better off than the average. I just think margarine is kind of a second-order problem, and you fix it, do better research and change the recommendation and work on more/better research. I kind of worry about folks who spend their days working on adtech to nudge people, wearing fitbits to nudge them to get up and walk around, saying OMG a nudge in the direction of the food pyramid is a slippery slope to insidious government mind control. If anybody should know the power of defaults and good UX to help people make better choices, it's people around here. I also worry about 300lb people in electric scooters, saying hands off my Big Gulp, I'm losing my freedom because somebody is trying to show calorie counts and reduce portion sizes and 'nudge' me.
