We also looked at the evolution of the food pyramid. The food pyramid from 1992 explains quite well why obesity is a disease in the US and a lot of the western world.
It is quite evident that the whole issue with this pyramid is that it recommended a superfluous intake of bread and cereal- the whole problem with the current day diet in the developed world!
This pyramid needed flipping, which did happen in 2005. The current day food pyramid would be self explanatory....
The beauty of this pyramid is that it not only tells people that carbohydrates and sugars are bad for them, but also that good health is about healthy eating compounded with exercise!
For the pleasures of those really into this stuff, following is the Food Pyramid drafted by Walter Willett, who can practically be termed the father of Nutritional Epidemiology. Hopefully a lot would be incorporated in the upcoming 2010 food pyramid.....
