I hope they don't spend my federal dollars for this. Children don't buy groceries, adults do. They would be better off spending this money to revise the food pyramid to reflect fewer carbs and more fat. Once the food pyramid is updated, all those manufacturers would eventually start following it.

We don't need a revised food pyramid to get manufacturers to change. Companies will make what people buy, we have already seen a huge market developing for low carb products (some unfortunately of questionable merit). I don't think we can count on the government to dictate a healthy diet. We know what works for us, and we can determine what products are available by using the influence of our wallets. |
