The USDA Pyramid Lie.
The pyramid was created by the USDA to teach the public how to prioritize food choices. The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) food pyramid promotes a big fat lie, driving profits to the food industry. Children are taught this from first grade on.
Its not a coincidence that the foods listed in the base of the pyramid are the most profitable in the food industry. Walter Willet, M.D., Ph. D. the head of nutrition at Harvard’s School of Public Health is one of the most vocal critics of the United States Department of Agriculture food pyramid. He has called the pyramid guideline “ridiculous.” That is not something that a Harvard scientist says lightly. Some of the “experts” who where involved in the creation of the pyramid actually worked for the dairy industry which further explains the reflected industry financial interest, not science or best health interest.
