Gotbeer, I thought that too at first, but don't forget that they are not specifying "lean meat" at the bottom of the pyramid, so presumably one is getting a healthy portion of fats from those sources anyway...so that would push additional fats a bit up the pyramid perhaps? And the AN research showed that their overall diet consisted of about 20% saturated fat and I imagine a lot of that is coming on those steaks and chops..
But was also surprised that nuts are higher up...perhaps because of calorie density?? I didn't think that was an issue tho...might be a good question to pose to AN.
