They have a new Food Pyramid chart coming out, and for the next 45 days, people can add imput to the chart- I guess they may end up revising it before they do the final release.

I'm looking through it now, but I don't have a lot to say, as I'm not a dietitian....

Yeah I heard about that. Maybe they are changing it because people are becoming shaped more and more like that food pyramid! They should shoot for something that looks like and hour glass O_o.

It won't make any difference though. Who passes up a hamburger because it isn't on the food chart? It's just so they can say they are "doing something about it" (obesity) but really it seems like a waste of time to me.
