Check out the crazy categories, like butter and margarine forming their own food group. I've gotta say, though, this is actually far more balanced than the ridiculous, starch-heavy food pyramid.


Healthy eating guidelines are just that-- guidelines-- but if you think that what the government says about nutrition is set in stone somewhere, well... here's proof that it's not.
