The new "Food Plate"

This thing is supposed to replace the Food Pyramid.


PRETTY underwhelming. HALF of the food you eat is supposed to be fruits and vegetables? Get out of here with that. Even vegetarians like to cheat by eating veggie burgers and soy steaks. and what's with that glass of MILK on the side? The Dairy Council paid somebody off, that's for sure.

Everyone has to overthink everything, man. Nothing was wrong with the good old FOUR FOOD GROUPS. Old-tyme farmers and politicians ate well-balanced home cooked meals and were productive and happy. Eggs with bacon and toast and hash browns with lots of ketchup and a big cup of coffee. THAT is what you should eat for breakfast.

BUT!

It has to be the real stuff. NOT MCDONALDS where they make eggs from powder and mutant pancakes in a microwave and the sausage in the Sausage McMuffin is actually processed raccoon meat or whatever.

and NO "frozen dinners." If you think that Salisbury Steak that comes frozen in a box is any kind of acceptable thing to eat you are a lunatic. Notice they stopped calling them "TV Dinners" because nobody wants to believe they are eating big fat couch potato food. But it's the same stuff in different packaging.

and STOP EATING COOKIES. You know who you are. You wouldn't want to know what's in an Oreo. (Hey that kind of rhymed.) If you want dessert, bake a pie. I think there is this natural thing where if you make/bake/grow/butcher food yourself it makes you a happier and healthier person. Rachael Ray = very happy. Ronald McDonald = unhappy/missing.

Good riddance to the Food Pyramid though, by the way. That thing was wack. Always remember that anything in pyramid form is misleading. Pyramids are evil. They are why Dick Clark lived to be 200.
