The old diet plan was to tell Americans what they should eat and hope for the best. The new plan is vastly more active and will reach people at home, at school, at work, at play, and especially at supermarkets and restaurants.

I’m guessing that the Stoat Food Pyramid where chocolate, bacon, steak and whisky reside at the top didn’t make the final cut.

So many things to ignore, so little time....

And what is the cost to taxpayers for this tripe?

And the pyramid will have Michelle's ever-watchful eye at the top.

Tell them to bugger off; I’ll eat what I please.

Skim or low-fat milk is actually a bad idea.

I’m sure this is produced by Democrats, who have an unerring ability to ignore real problems (the economy, terrorism, etc.) in favor of slight or non-problems.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

High-fructose corn syrup will be at the top of the pyramid because the corn lobby owns DC.

“make half of your plate fruits and vegetables”

That just isn't going to happen. Think of these people making beef stew. The liquid is flavorless broth with a half plate of carrots, a couple pieces of potato, and two chicken nugget sized pieces of beef. The people who made this can go play in traffic

Doing all of this at once may be too much to swallow. So the USDA plan is to stress one idea at a time.

Yeah, absorbing all six of those complicated points at one time might make our heads explode.

Do you realize how much contempt these people have for us?

"The fact they are reaching out to a broad partnership is important, because we need all the ammunition we can get to fight the epidemics of obesity and diabetes," Zelman says.

Suppose they wouldn't cut WAY BACK on food stamps and welfare would they?....then, a lot of the OBESITY problem would go away!!!

Absolutely nothing coming from this Gestapo Government is anything I would believe or care to hear about.

USDA,

You'll be seeing the icon everywhere.

YES YOU CAN Enjoy your food, but eat less.
YES YOU CAN Avoid oversized portions.
YES YOU CAN Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables.
YES YOU CAN Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1%) milk.
YES YOU CAN Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals, and choose the foods with lower numbers.
YES YOU CAN Drink water instead of sugary drinks.

NOW SHAKE YOU BOOTY AND MOVE IT, MOVE IT, MOVE IT.

Oh Boy! Finally the CHANGE O’Bama (the black leprechaun)promised. I was getting sick of looking at the old food pyramid every time I sat at the table, opened the refrigerator door or got into my car (we are very concerned and aware of the government’s FOOD PYRAMID). We carry it’s picture everywhere so we can consult it each time we eat.

Now we are absolutely gleeful...the CHANGE has happened...we have a new food pyramid.

Now we await the government’s TOILET PYRAMID. I’ve heard it’s not a pyramid but an upside down wedge and all of the dirty stuff falls to the bottom of the wedge. Guess who’s picture is on the bottom with his mouth open?

0bese Americans should sue the Feds for the Food Pyramid that hooked them on Carbohydrates, a food that is one amino acid away from a pile of sugar.
