What's Wrong
With The Government's 12 NEW Food Pyramids?

• Orange represents Grains (bread, cereal, pasta, rice, crackers, etc.) - They are still recommending FAR TOO MUCH of these foods in your diet! • Green represents Vegetables - They don't distinguish between the starchy (sugary) veggies and the green, leafy kind. Sugar content varies greatly depending on the vegetable, so this missed the whole point when it comes to weight management and pancreatic health! • Red represents Fruits - Once again they don't distinguish between the very sugary fruits and the ones with less sugar. Fruits should be minimized in your diet, because they will add excess body fat if you aren't careful. • Blue represents Milk - They recommend low-fat or fat-free which is absolutely Terrible Advice! • Purple represents Meat & Beans- This is INSANE! It would take 6 POUNDS of beans to equal 8 ounces of animal-based protein - and a 150 pound person needs a minimum of 1 pound of protein a day! Why does it take so many beans to equal enough bio-available protein? Because the protein is locked in the cellulose (plant fiber) of the bean. Besides, beans convert almost entirely to sugar in your system. They are a TERRIBLE replacement for animal-based protein! • Yellow represents Fats & Oils - This color band is so small it's barely visible, which is unbelievable when some of the most IMPORTANT nutrients you need in your diet are natural fats and oils (like EFAs, unprocessed oils and animal fats). Our government has done the most bizarre thing by coming up with a grand total of 12 pyramids! This is appalling! Nutritionally, we ALL need exactly the SAME thing! All of the information you need to make the smartest food choices can be found here at this website! You don't need to waste your time figuring out which of the 12 pyramids fit you! Also, they've included exercise as a part of these new pyramids. Since when is exercise a food group? Granted, exercise is important, but it just seems strange that it should be included in the food pyramid.
