Food pyramid out, 'My Plate' in for healthy eating

[jimmy olsen]

Dairy shouldn't be on there at all (much as I like it myself).  However, as long as politicians are still taking bribes and blowjobs from lobbyists, it's never gonna go away completely.

Why not?

Marti complains about fruits.  I snicker uncontrollably.

[CountDeMoney]

Ugh, too much fruit. Carbs anyone? 

And sugar.

[Martinus]

And sugar.

Well, that's what I meant. Sugar is a carb.

[Martinus]

Carbohydrates are present everywhere 

Ok, grumbler.

[Caliga]

Why not?

Because you can live a perfectly healthy life without ever having consumed dairy products, and further a huge percentage of the world's people are lactose intolerant.  When was the last time you had cheese at a Chinese restaurant?

Ugh, too much fruit. Carbs anyone? 

Too much fruit? What the fuck?

[CountDeMoney]

Ugh, too much fruit. Carbs anyone? 

Too much fruit? What the fuck?

Yes, you can have too much fruit.  All that natural sugar isn't good for you.  Less fruit, more leafy greens.

Too much fruit? What the fuck?

Yes, you can have too much fruit.  All that natural sugar isn't good for you.  Less fruit, more leafy greens.

And that's why the vegetables portion is roughly twice the size of the fruit portion. Nobody is asking you to become a fruit bat.

'Cause we don't need to ask.

Wut?

I'm eating a banana right now.

When was the last time I wanted to live like I was Chinese?

Besides, I'm not sure why it would be beneficial to tell people who aren't lactose intolerant to eat something nutritious. Even if it is just: Have a glass of milk instead of a soda.

Cal has turned into a damned hippy.

#1 on the Ed Anger disapproval list. SON, I AM DISAPPOINT.
