Goodbye Food Pyramid

I just read in the NYT that they're finally doing away with that stoopid food pyramid. Instead, they're unveiling a new rendition on Thursday -- one that is shaped like a plate. (I would argue, in this case, it's a shape more aptly known as a pie chart. Even my fourth grader knows that. Mmmm. Pie. Pie-ramid.)

Anyhoo, to confirm that Michelle Obama and I are once again on the same page, I'm unveiling my personal guide to healthy eating in the form of my very own pie chart. Later this week, we'll see how close I am. Get your wagers ready.

















Please note the overlapping foods. I swear it's intentional (i.e., wine pairs well with Fritos) and not just my lack of access to sophisticated tools. (PowerPoint be damned.)

But seriously, who would want a glass of wine when you can have a slice of bread? Right mom?

When I was a kid, the food pyramid didn't even exist - it was the four basic food groups. Now that I'm older, it's still the four basic food groups: salt, sugar, fat, and alcohol.

That's why God invented the margarita with a side of guacamole. Perfect balance.

However, it is also because of this negative thinking which is the primary cause of their weihgt problem.

A meal plan can be very detailed and it
can be tied to eating great things like fish and nuts to eat.
Any product or lifestyle that can help to increase body mass in a
healthier manner and without using any harsh chemical is a safe and natural way to gain body weight.

In its original sense this was a group of individuals
defined mainly by their membership of some formal body, but the concept has been expanded to encompass the customers of a range
of retail outlets. Bunches of cables could be a headache otherwise correctly tied.
s clothing stores today that have both casual and formal clothing for children.

But, once more, you can uncover these domain investigation resources by carrying out a easy Google investigation this sort
of as "bulk domain search". You can paste pictures into it, and drag the edges
to enlarge or reduce the picture size. They are simple documents with minimal cross
links between the different sections therefore making the
document easy to read in a top-down sweep.

Some companies also conduct tests before hiring truck drivers.
However, these days the fact is that not only the illegal drugs are
not only the source of drug addiction. The synthetic urine works well but it requires some time
to prepare the synthetic concentrated urine.
