I think there is a battle right now between the "vegiholics" and the "carboholics" for their spot at the bottom of the Government Food PYRAMID. Get the government out of our kitchens, I tell ya! Diversity and wholeness in food is the key. (And most Registered Dieticians don't get it, because they are taught to follow the typical Food Pyramid, with pasta, bread, etc at the base of a diet.)

No doubt. I'm recovering from surgery right now (gall bladder was removed) and in the discharge papers is their diet recommendations which is the ol' Food Pyramid list of foods (read "6 to 11 servings from the grain/bread/cereal group.") Yeah, right, I don't think so!

I did get a laugh from the anesthesiologist as he looked over my records when prepping me for the surgery. "Atkins! Alright!!" LOL
