There the idea was, we tell people they have to eat all these different foods, fruits, vegetables, dairy products, protein, and if they take us seriously, they’ll get fatter than ever. Believe it or not, this was the reasoning that the National Academy of Scientists, when its committee said now you should walk 60 minutes a day.

Oh, this one's scary! They give us the pyramid, realize it's making us fatter and so tell us to exercise to offset their mistake rather than take back the pyramid. Of course she left starches (the base of the pyramid) off her list of foods.  |
