There was a link to respond at the bottom of the article, so I did:

This may be the funniest article I've read all year, and you weren't even trying. I can imagine the author reacting like a robot when he first read the study results ("Does not compute - must self-destruct"). It never ceases to amaze me that people treat nutrition like religion, instead of having an open mind towards an approach that could potentially help the millions of people in this country struggling with skyrocketing obesity and diabetes. This isn't about proving you and your food pyramid are correct, Reverend Fumento, so settle down and open up that humorous mind of yours.
