The Atkins Food Pyramid

Quote:

Stuart Lawrence Trager, M.D., Chairperson, Atkins Physicians Council --- Earlier this week, I was privileged to brief federal officials and members of the Bush administration, along with Mary C. Vernon, M.D. and Stephen B. Sondike, M.D., my two fellow members of the Atkins Physicians Council (APC). Our mission in going to Washington, D.C., was to deliver a proposal for a new and innovative food guide pyramid that supports a controlled-carbohydrate lifestyle...

The article goes on. It also has a downloadable pdf file of the pyramid.

It may be wishful thinking....but I'm glad to have an official-looking example to use in teaching my children proper nutrion. I don't have to have the USDA support it to live by it or teach my children it's the healthiest way to eat. Just the fact that it's been created and presented to officials is a great first step.

I know that I've read where Atkins has tried to get the USDA version revised, but, we've never seen anything as an example from Atkins. Until now!!!

The thing I both liekd and worried about is wher ein the article they spoke about there may end up being a number of perimids and for different people. This is good because many people do need more individualized plans. It worries me though becaus eI have a sneaky feeling that kids in schools that serve "USDA approved menus" will still be getting the piramid full of cheap carbs and sugar.

I was wondering what it would look like if the popular media put together a low carb pyramid...
