My Pyramid
The USDA just released the new food pyramid. Now there are 6 "food groups," all with ultra-detailed descriptions and suggestions, steps for exercise suggestion and specific, varied pyramids depending on age/sex/activity level. The site isn't loading correctly, so unfortunately i can't check out "My Pyramid Plan." There's even a "Vegetarian Diets" tips section that doesn't insist on "combining proteins" or loading up on dairy products. It's definitely an improvement on "The Four Food Groups," which was essentially backed by the meat and dairy industry (not that this isn't either, but at least it's advocating a diet with a heavy emphasis on vegetables, fruits and whole grains AND admitting that a vegetarian diet doesn't equate to instant death.)
