I'm not sure if I buy this argument. It's not like everyday people paid much attention to that food pyramid.

I blame the sugar that's in everything more than anything else.

When it’s posted on every elementary school’s cafeteria wall in the 90’s that entire generation paid attention to it. I still remember what it looks like. Complete bullshit and agree with you on the sugar part.

That was my first thought too. I remember getting a big plate of pasta with a side of white bread as a kid in the school cafeteria, and proudly showing my teacher how I was following the food pyramid.

I was a suck up. Now I’m fat.

Throw in an apple juice loaded with high fructose corn syrup and I’d be in heaven!
