…everyone cursed the Web site that seemed as technologically advanced as the Internet was in 1992…
Yep. I’ve tried several times – haven’t got in yet.

I'm so confused. I eat straight from the poster that I've had hanging in my kitchen for years and years. But now they're telling me it's no good! So what am I supposed to eat until the new poster arrives? I'm getting hungry and I don't know what to do.
To: Dr. Frank fan
LOL. I suggest eating the poster.
To: Dallas59
yep. I am a meat eater and I will not change!!

I suggest eating the poster. I can't! There's no "poster" group listed on the poster. And if there werre, it would be outdated anyway.
How many posters a day do the new guidelines allow for?
This is getting serious. I'm starting to feel euphoric!
To: Willie Green
The new pyramid is pitiful. They should've used a pie chart (seriously).
To: Willie Green
Just remember to get several servings per day from the four basic food groups: salt, fat, sugar, and preservatives.

I like yours better (except you left out onion rings), and I'll bet it was lots cheaper than the gov's to produce!

A very peaceful and painless way to go, of course.

curious consumers can access a wealth of information at the new Web site www.mypyramid.gov I would have expected that site to go to the Social Security Administration.

The USDA says the symbol is deliberately simple and is meant to encourage consumers to be active and make healthier food choices. They say that curious consumers can access a wealth of information at the new Web site www.mypyramid.gov. But that's part of the problem, Nestle said.
"This is the philosophy of this administration -- it's all about personal responsibility," she said.
So where's the problem?

I just tried to access it - it only offers the options of entering your weight, age & amount of daily exercise...so it is not very customizable. In any case, it times out every time I submit the information, so I guess it IS broke.
