Lawsuit Says New USDA Dietary Guidelines Are Deceptive

I called for the end to the pyramid (and the conventional food label) years ago. If you read the latest DGA, you will see what an obtuse document it is.
A nonprofit physicians organization came out hard against updated dietary guidelines recently issued by the US Department of Agriculture (UDSA), suing the government to force the USDA to change its recommendations.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) alleges that the USDA knowingly hides harmful foods behind obscure language in the report.
Though I hsve no great love for the PCRM, on this issue, they are mostly in the right.
