With all the people out there supporting the food pyramid you think they would rethink it. People are getting fatter and sicker.

Don't eat these foods. <br /><br />Anyway, the USDA and conventional medical dietary guidelines are way too high in carbs and too low in GOOD fats, so who benefits from them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198125453064456988.post-57128135872618702322011-05-29T16:54:50.788-04:002011-05-29T16:54:50.788-04:00The UK has the 'eatwell plate' as our vers...The UK has the 'eatwell plate' as our version of the US food pyramid (example: http://www.food.gov.uk/scotland/scotnut/eatwellplate/) which is taught in schools instead of a pyramid.The Fat Foreignerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604719837186012000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198125453064456988.post-88577423626085788982011-05-29T02:08:19.675-04:002011-05-29T02:08:19.675-04:00Not that I want to confuse anyone, but I just foun...Not that I want to confuse anyone, but I just found a very interesting Healing Foods Pyramid put out by the University of Michigan. It's discussed in this great book I'm reading, "The Probiotics Revolution." Anyway, those pyramids are all kind of hard to handle, but you might take a look anyway.

Thanks for the link. I scrolled up and the terms defined.

LOL<br /><br />Apparently we are witness to history when the symbol changes. Yet check this 2001 study by Penn State called "The New American Plate" pdf <br /><br />http://beaver.extension.psu.edu/Nutrition/newsletters/NUWinter01.pdf<br /><br />And I would go with the Doctor over the government...just because I see the envelope passing from the industries to try to get a piece of that PLATE real estate. General Mills is probably cursing "PLATE PLATE?? WHERE IS THE F'ING BOWL?" lol<br /><br />I love your blog.Bluezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571236569981685638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198125453064456988.post-23924770813882514912011-05-29T00:55:19.664-04:002011-05-29T00:55:19.664-04:00I only recently heard of the food plate plan, as w...I only recently heard of the food plate plan, as well as the rainbow plan. Dr. Rob Huizenga from "The Biggest Loser" in his book "Where Did All the Fat Go?" also reminds us that plates used to be 9" diameter, but now they are 13" diameter! So we still have to be mindful of measuring our food.Becky Baker Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13143605202006492092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198125453064456988.post-4073413365035834532011-05-28T23:17:54.469-04:002011-05-28T23:17:54.469-04:00I am truly intrigued by the food plate idea.

I think they both have their place, but I'm with you - the concept of the plate is in EVERYONES grasp. Did I already say LOVE? <br />I also love the concept of "eating the rainbow". When you focus on having lots of natural colors on that plate (and as I say to me 4 year old - "uh, no, skittles don't count!" LOL), you are more apt to choose fresh fruits and veggies, as opposed to an "all beige" diet (which, of course, my toddler loves) More colors also equals more nutrients...Kelliannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03585883189621171791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1198125453064456988.post-44218021539842993062011-05-28T20:58:49.453-04:002011-05-28T20:58:49.453-04:00I've never heard of PLATE actually.

I've been reducing a lot of that junk but haven't eliminated it, that's for sure. When I think that blue box mac and cheese with hot dog used to be my "plate" I shudder.Debbi Does Dinner Healthyhttp://debbidoesdieting.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
