USDA Proposed Daily Food Intake Patterns

[Guest guest]

Here is a link to information regarding the food pyramid and " food

intake patterns. " The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion

(CNPP)(Agency of USDA) is soliciting comments on proposed revisions

to the food intake patterns that form the basis for the Food Guide

Pyramid.

 

Proposed Daily Food Intake Patterns (what the heck does that mean???

That basically tells me that they now know they can't get away with

promoting this stuff as " nutrition " so they call it a " food intake

pattern! " How about " Agriculture Industry Stimulator? " After all,

this is not from a nutrition or health department of the government,

it is from the USDA, the US Dept. of Agriculture. Their job is to

promote US agriculture!)

A 2000 calorie diet would have me eating only 1 cup of fruits and

only 2 cups of vegetables per day! How's a human supposed to live on

that?

 

If I followed their recommended diet, my blood pressure would go back

up, my migraines would return, as likely would my ulcer, I would go

back to having colds and flus, and I would have problems with my ears

when flying (in a jet, that is... I couldn't fly under my own power

till I went raw!

 

It becomes more and more clear to me, whether it is intentional or

not, the government is recommending ill health. They are actually

promoting disease! Amazing!

 

I'm a human. They promote " milk. " The only " milk " natural to humans

is human breast milk. I don't think they conferred with my mother on

that one. At 2-3 cups of milk recommended per day, and with three

adult children, I don't think my mother would go for that! But, I

digress...

 

Have a look at the recommendations. feel free to send your comments.
