While I wanted to like the tape for it's contrarian opinions -- I found out that it was a sham.
Here is one of many links that expose Joel D. Wallach, joining the ranks of Nobel prize nominees such as Tookie Williams:

But the food pyramid could be wrong, I am highly suspicious of the weight in which an individual is claimed to be overweight. I know lots of people in great shape that would be overweight by the government's standards.
An NFL football player that is 6 feet tall, weighs 210 pounds and is built like an ironman triathlete is considered overweight by the standard methods. No allowance is made for slight, medium or heavy builds or amount of muscle mass.
According to the tables I've seen, I'm 20 lbs. overweight (6'2"/215lbs.) and have a BMI of 27.5 (under 25 is "normal"). I do have a little extra around the middle, but it's invisible under my clothes since I carry most of my upper body mass in my chest and shoulders. I wear a 33-34" waist size depending on the brand of pants, and I get approving glances and smiles from the fairer sex daily. I avoid fast food and loosely count calories, but overall, I'm not too worried about it.
