Obama Administration getting ready to ditch the Food Pyramid

he Obama Administration is getting ready to ditch the Food Pyramid, a symbol of healthy eating for the last two decades.

In its place, officials are "dishing up" a simple, plate-shaped symbol, sliced into wedges for basic food groups and half-filled with fruits and vegetables.

Beside the plate is a smaller circle for dairy, suggesting a glass of low-fat milk or perhaps a yogurt cup.

The revised pyramid is part of the administration's crusade against obesity, led by first lady Michelle Obama.

>>If you smoke, no free healthcare for you. <<

Obesity rates have skyrocketed since the push to quit smoking. Everything that will help people lose weight is banned and then they push a “low-fat high carb” food pyramid. The same one that fattens up mammals for slaughter.

Why not just kill fat people? It would save on healthcare costs./s/

If we were close by, we would take those off your hands.
We love raw Zukes with ranch.

” If you smoke, no free healthcare for you. If you are obese, no free healthcare for you”

So govt approved behaviors get govt benefits.

I have about a dozen of each, zucchini and summer squash.
They were prolific this year. They are starting to die off now. I have time to start another garden.............

Bravo! I am still amazed when a FReeper actually starts recommending more restrictions on a person’s liberty. Drink alcohol? No medical care for you. Don’t go to the dentist every six months? No medical care for you? Drive a car to work rather than walk? No medical care for you. The list is endless, isn’t it?

I want the damn Obamas to adhere to their new dietary guidelines, then. Fat ****ing chance of that! Probably no lobster or Wagyu burgers on it.

In other words a seniors pyramid should be different than a child’s who is growing. Different needs for different generations. This is where one size DOES NOT fit all.
