QUOTE(myremi @ Apr 4 2009, 09:31 PM) The pyramid you just posted is the one that pizzaboy was protesting. Is it? I thought he's criticizing the old pyramid xD. anyway, the Food Pyramid is just a general guide of proportion of food that you're supposed to take and it's made not only for Asian or American only. Different individuals will require different proportion of food. It just gives you a rough idea. It's pretty unfair to say that the Food Pyramid is a failure judging by half of the population are obese because there may be other factors that's causing the obesity. e.g how many of them actually follow closely to the Food Pyramid and I would say those that're obese don't even exercise. Why they are obese? Well, blame Mc D<< jus kidding Although, it could be that he's protesting about the serving size rather than the food itself because without a doubt, unprocessed grains are a good source of carbo i.e. slow release. One thing about food servings is that it's not all the same but dependent upon what food it is. E.g. one cup of potato is not the same as one cup of sweet potato. That's why I said that I went by food portions. Easier to manage although I do end up eating less than the recommended amount in the pyramid. Bear in mind that if you're living in a country that has the same season all year round, you will not get hungry (coz less energy used) compared to ppl living in temperate countries (more hungry during winter time because the cold makes your body work harder to give out enough heat to keep you warm). Just eat more veggies. And note that potato is classified as a carbo source. |
