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

[garbon]

Cal has turned into a damned hippy.

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

Actually I think he just wants people to suffer from low calcium.

[Caliga]

All I'm trying to say is that it's not necessary for a balanced diet so it probably shouldn't be on this dumb 'food plate' thing.

Adults shouldnt consume milk as a drink. Period.

unless you're a menopausal woman you get all the calcium you need from leafy greens and meat. And even if you're a menopausal woman dairy won't give you enough and you'll need supplements.

I'm sure that everyone eat sufficient amounts of leafy greens a day.

And then of course, there is the related issue that many people suffer from vitamin d deficiencies.

less greens means more meat so it balances out

Unless you're a nomad you really don't need milk as a balanced part of your diet. which is what i believe cal was getting at.

I think the protein slice is too big.

there's proteing in a lot of stuff. i don't like this plate. Give me pictures of stuff i'm supposed to eat not a coloured wedge that could mean any combination of things.

[DGuller]

Are you supposed to eyeball the areas?  And what do the areas represent?  Calories, portions, something else?

[garbon]

less greens means more meat so it balances out

We have a lot of sources of non-food. Besides, it is totally possible to get through the day with little leafy greens and little meat.

[Razgovory]

I bet you can stack several steaks on that small portion area.

Mmmmmm, a stack of Filet Mignon. A new item from Denny's.

[Ideologue]

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?

People who are lactose intolerant will be outcompeted.  My bones are adamantium--thanks to milk!

Martinus' bones are probably like chalk.

[The Brain]

Dairy products rock.
