Everyone in the US remember the food pyramid we all learned in school? Well, it's going away. The new plan is the four food groups pie chart .
Mmmm ... pie.
Of course, I'm old enough to remember before the pyramid when we just had the lame 'four food groups' -- sugar, salt, caffeine, and fat. I'm not exactly sure why it was replaced by the pyramid, or why the pyramid is going away.
Ah well. That's several hours of health class in school I shan't get back in a hurry.
My wife won't miss it at all, as she calls they pyramid the 'feedlot diet' -- since carbohydrates are on the base of the pyramid at 6-11 servings, she was convinced it caused people to bloat up like little piggies.
