The New Food Pyramid

Greetings!

I launched the 3rd issue of The Skinny Chef's Digest this weekend, and one of the topics I included was the new food pyramid that the US Government has deviced as a new set of nutrition guidelines. You can check out the back issues of TSC Digest here.

There has been a wide spectrum of reactions about the so-called new pyramid.

On the one hand, there are those who hail this development as a long overdue move, argueing that the old pyramid was misleading and - in a way - gave people license to eat too much of the wrong things. The new pyramid, this group argues, gives you a better way of determining how much of what you need to have a balanced diet.

On the other hand, there are others who say that the new pyramid is unhelpful.

I must say that, except for my primary school years, I never really paid attention to the old pyramid. And I have the feeling (a "gut feeling", if you excuse the pun) that most folks don't care either. Our eating habits run contrary to whatever we learn at school (in my opinion, that is!). Otherwise, we'd all be a slim bunch, wouldn't we?

I think we all can do with nutritional education, but the responsibility at the end of the day lays with each one of us, and the decision we make as to what we eat, and - more importantly - what we teach our kids to eat.

What do you reckon? Any views? You can check the new pyramid yourself here. Let me know.

By the way, I'm revamping my site's resources page to give you more valuable information... but it will take a bit of time... so... visit it... and bear with me for a little while.

Yours in health,



Jeff "The Skinny Chef"
