Food pyramid wars

Postby GymBunny on Sat Mar 27, 2010 6:49 pm

Was trolling UKM (as I do) and saw a very interesting post about a disagreement between a forum member and his Danish friend. He (UK) was saying the food pyramid is a pile of wank, whereas she (Danish) said it was pretty good and they teach it to kids in school. Cue googling.

UK:

Denmark:

Not really difficult to see why the Danish are healthier than the Brits. Even fruit is higher in pyramid than veg. Protein and fats still too high up the pyramid for my liking, but irrespective of thatthe simple switch in the pyramid is at least 10 fold healthier.

Never look back with regrets and think "what if" for that way madness lies. There are those that will envy you and try and undermine you. They are not worth your time.

We grow grains here so naturally they will be at the bottom here ;)

Most of these things, including the governement's macro guidelines, have more than a nod towards affordability for the underclass innit

Why are Chavs like slinkies? They have no real use but it's great to watch one fall down a flight of stairs.
