The New Food Guide Pyramid: Ummm . . .

The new food guide pyramid doesn't make much sense. For one thing, there's no clear outline that can be put on cereal boxes. That's going to be a major problem for the government. How are they going to get this information out without it on cereal boxes? That's where I learned about the old food pyramid. Furthermore, this pyramid is harder to draw. That's a problem for art-deficient teachers. Even more, the symbolism is all off. If you take one of the food groups out, there is still a pyramid. Whereas, with the old one, if one food group is taken out, there is no pyramid. Does that mean I can eat only, say, fruits and proteins and still be okay?
