Food Pyramid Fallacy
It is a mistake to follow the “government guidelines” or “The Food Pyramid” for healthy eating.
"Anyone who wants to see for themselves what “government guidelines” and The Food Pyramid can do for their health only needs to drive to the nearest Native American Reservation and look around. The government supplies these reservations with most of their food, based on these guidelines. Take a look at the tragically pervasive rate of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, alcoholism and any other degenerative illness you can think of. Look at life expectancy. Consider also what now constitutes “food” in government guideline-designed school lunch programs. After all…everyone knows that ketchup is a vegetable…" - Nora Gedgaudas
