Remember when you first learned about the food pyramid, and it looked so appealing with the fats and oils on top? This shape was supposed to tell you how you were intended to… layer?… your food and illustrated a few items in each category. However, I distrust it because I’m not taking nutrition advice from someone who thinks a tomato is a vegetable. Seriously, people – it’s a fruit.
Then, the pyramid shifted a bit, and turned into a mountain of food, all yours to climb:
But this version really gives you no useful information. Should I start each day with grains and end with meat and beans? Make sure my veggies don’t touch my milk? Eat one slice of… blue each day?
