Well, not so much Food Pyramid as food itself. You know how we're supposed to be watching our weight in order to avoid fates worse than death?
Turns out, not so much:
“Being obese before you are 40 has no correlation to your health either. The risk that people are told about does not exist.”
Now, after 40 is, perhaps, another matter, although that's not necessarily a given:
"The report ... shows that between the ages of 25 and 70 there is little difference in the health of normal compared with overweight people based on the amount of medication they are taking."
Granted, that's only one metric, but it seems to me that it's a pretty important one. Does this mean that we should all start pigging out? Of course not: common sense hasn't been disproven (yet).
Still, pretty decent food for thought.
