Fixin's Added To Food Pyramid By USDA

WASHINGTON, DC—Updating the dietary guide to reflect current U.S. eating habits, the Department of Agriculture announced Monday that it has added a "fixin's" food group to the USDA Food Pyramid. "We recommend five to eight daily servings from the fixin's group, which includes such hearty sides as cole slaw, mashed potatoes, steak fries, baked beans, and mac 'n' cheese," Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman said. "So go ahead and treat yourself to all the fixin's you want. They're not only free, they're recommended." Also falling within the fixin's group, Veneman said, are burger toppings, including fried onions, cheese sauce, and bacon-smothered mushrooms.

:) S, Many in the know consider FDA pyramid to be flawed in itself ... Is it due to pressure from agriculture lobby? My own cholestrol numbers prove that contents of pyramid in reverse order is a better health option ... Of course I speak for myself ...

Eggs raise your cholestrol? Explain to those who have lowered their cholestrol numbers eating two eggs a day!

Carbs are the culprit and yet you see all high carb foods lording over the top of the pyramid ... why?


I must hasten to mention my being LLKC!
