Proposed Dietary Guidelines For Americans Sharply Debated

Clearly the Dietary Guidelines and the Food Pyramid are flops.

A special article published in the journal Nutrition sharply criticizes the recent Report of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC). Authors Hite et al. argue the Report fails to conform to the standards of evidence-based medicine, despite its claimed reliance on a newly created USDA Nutrition Evidence Library. The authors call the DGAC to task for failing to consider recent scientific results while at the same time further confusing the American public.

However, clearly there is no good evidence that the next group of experts will do anything different from making other silly recommendations.

Plainly and simply what needs to be done is stop all the ridiculous research into a problem whose cause is known with 100% certainty and whose solution is known with 100% certainty and begin to have fatsos pay for their illnesses of choice.

When that day arrives, wisdom will prevail.

Until then, this prevails...
