The beef lobby had some influence, but honestly,
I see nothing wrong with the pyramid they way it is now...... The issue being portion sizes and choices.
BTW,
You just implied I didn't know what folks needed nutritionally in the above post.
That hurt.
However, I just have a stage 4 wound that healed because I got the Dr. to finally pay attention (after the the patient nearly lost her foot). I know what I do works.
That's why I keep doing it. It's not for the money, and it sure as hell ain't for the respect. :P
The issue being portion sizes and choices.
Portion size is the single biggest problem we have here in the US. In fact, I realize you're talking nutrition as opposed to weight loss, but since I have been trying to lose a few pounds, I've noticed that what is considered a serving is PATHETIC in comparison to what I'm used to eating.
Well, on more than one occasion I've known something my doctor didn't even after I told him.
