I still haven't been able to get my personal food pyramid based on the new USDA guidelines. I suppose it is good that enough people are interested that the web server can't handle the load. A column on washingtonpost.com quotes a boatload of people who are concerned that using the Internet as the main means of supplying the information means missing a good chunk of the population who need this information, though. I assumed there'd be a big public education campaign to follow, but I guess I'm naive.
I'm sure fast food places will have it on tray liners eventually.

Posted by: RP at April 20, 2005 08:32 PMThe article in the Baltimore Sun also contained a quote about how the graphic of the person walking up the stairs on the side of the pyramid implied that walking up the stairs once a day was enough exercise to burn off a lot of calories. The next sentence said how many miles a person would have to run to burn off a caramel mocha from Starbucks.
