If one realizes that the so-called Food Pyramid that the gubmnt and health care and Nutrition "experts" pushes on the population is totally upside down and in fact dangerous to one's health, one could accept the theory of a conspiracy.
But who's behind it and what is their aim?

The food pyramid isn't upside down, but it does assume that you engage in more physical activity than a mollusk.

I don't know that it's upside down, so much as people don't understand the concept of PORTION SIZING. You need carbs. You need fats. You need proteins. You need all of these things in moderation.
Increase in vegetables and fruits help dramatically. Overdoing ANYTHING is not good. Giving up ANYTHING is not good.
Most don't realize what a serving of grain is or they're eating white bread and consider it a 'grain' (which it isn't.)
Much better stuff from the conspiracists themselves here:
