Exercise and eat more produce

Finally, they're considering changing the food pyramid.  Right now the pyramid looks like you should be eating as much dairy as produce (the blue on the pyramid is dairy, red and green are the fruits and veggies). Made me realize the power of American Dairy Association's lobbyists.  Stay tuned, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is only considering it.

And they should, previous blogs outline an abundance of reasons and now the 2010 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has now weighed in.
Calling obesity the greatest threat to Americans' health.  The Committee "advocates the consumption of nutrient-dense forms of foods to provide the maximum nutritional intake within calorie needs...All vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fish, eggs and nuts prepared without added solid fats or sugars are considered nutrient-dense."

The report release June 15 will be used to update federal dietary guidelines such as those outlined in the food pyramid.

I'm about halfway through and have found it incredibly interesting, more posts to follow. For your own reading pleasure.
