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