Now, the last thing I could ever be called
is a “conspiracy theorist” but you might
think otherwise after reading what I have
to say about the USDA Food Pyramid. I’m
certainly not trying to turn this diet into a
political debate, but the fact is, the USDA
plays an important role in the economy of
our country. And what goes into the food
pyramid will, in turn, dictate how much
money we spend on certain food products.
Take a look at the USDA Food Pyramid that
has shaped the way most American eat
over the past few decades.
As you can see,
our own government recommends we
get over 2/3 of our daily nutrition from
carbohydrate laden foods (bread, rice,
pasta, fruits and vegetables) and only
about 20% of our food from protein
sources—the primary nutrient that
keeps us alive! It’s no wonder
that nearly 50% of the US
population is considered to
be overweight!

I think the Harvard School of Public Health said it best in their famed article,
What Should You Really Eat?
Here’s an interesting excerpt:
In the children’s book “Who Built the Pyramid?”, different people take credit
for building the once-grand pyramid of Senwosret.
King Senwosret, of course,
claims the honor. But so does his architect, the quarry master, the stonecutters,
slaves, and the boys who carried water to the workers.
The USDA’s MyPyramid also had many builders. Some are obvious—USDA
scientists, nutrition experts, staff members, and consultants. Others aren’t.
Intense lobbying efforts from a variety of food industries also helped shape
the pyramid.
According to federal regulations, the panel that writes the dietary guidelines
must include nutrition experts who are leaders in pediatrics, obesity,
cardiovascular disease, and public health.
Selecting the panelists is no
easy task, and is subject to intense lobbying from organizations such as
the National Dairy Council, United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association,
Soft Drink Association, American Meat Institute, National Cattlemen’s Beef
Association, and Wheat Foods Council.
