I don't think that's how Mi-go (who live on Pluto, or Yuggoth, as they call it, according to Word Of Lovecraft) look, LHM.  I dunno... do a google image search for Mi-go, looks pretty close to most of the interpretations out there |

Oh, thank God. I hated the "new" food pyramid. So hard to read. The old food pyramid put WAY too much emphasis on grains, too. To the point that, for accuracy, grains and fruit/vegetables really needed to be switched. Especially since that food group is generally known as the "bread, rice, pasta, and cereal" group. The only cereals that aren't crammed full of sugar (yes, even adult cereals like Corn Flakes are offenders here) are those weird Kashi health food ones. Flavored oatmeals have high amounts of added sugar too. Too much sugar and starch fills you up before you get the actual nutrients you need! |

I think that is cereal PRODUCTS, rather than breakfast cereals. That is, things made of cereal grains... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CerealNamed for the goddess Ceres, if it helps. |

I'll still be sticking to my own carefully crafted and optimised food management strategy:
1. Are you hungry?
Yes. Proceed to 2.
No. Proceed to 4.
2. Does the food taste good?
Yes. Proceed to 3.
No. Proceed to 4.
3. Eat it.
4. Don't eat it.

Psh, like you don't see the Great Pyramids and think, "I'm gonna fucking EAT that." I do. But only the top, cause that's where the sweats are. |

If they meant "cereal" in that sense, there would be no need to mention grains and rice, because those are cereals too. They're talking about Kellogg's and General Mills (both of which are rumored to have sponsored the studies that produced the original food pyramid in the first place). |

I think the plate model makes more sense, because it provides a visual model for what our plate should look like, food-wise.

I always used the plate model anyways. I never followed the pyramid.

If I might paraphrase Stephen Colbert...
"I am disgusted by the fact that the Department of Agriculture uses slave labour is used in the creation of it's mighty food pyramid. PHARAOH TUTEN RAMEN NOODLE, LET MY PEOPLE GOGURT. Also, Department of Agriculture is only one letter away from being the Department of Angriculture"
