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.
I’m thinking of using them instead of cukes in kosher dill pickles..........
>>Because when Im planning my menu, I feel that the best food choices can be made only after consulting a lawyer from Chicago.<<
You win the internets!!!!
” 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.............
If you put a ‘boob’ belt on this and a couple of $1000 klodhoppers and drape it was a theatre curtain, it looks just like....err.....well, you know!
My dog's LOVE THESE!.......................
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.
It is endless.

um.... Michelle you might want to put down the twinkie before you start telling us what to do!!!
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.
Zukes make AWESOME pickles..........
I’m with both of you gals!!!
You got it!
