Government is largely responsible for the infamous (and recently revised) “food pyramid” — the stuff-yourself-with-carbs road map that formed the basis for menus in public (and many private) schools, colleges, government (and many private employers’) cafeterias, etc. While the increasingly sedentary lifestyles of the information age have certainly played a significant role in the obesity/diabetes epidemic, it appears that the food pyramid may have caused at least as much, if not more damage.
Amen to that.
