Plates
Recently the USDA got rid of the old Pyramid system for designing a balanced diet, and introduced the MyPlate system. I never understood the Pyramid, and even less the Bush-era nonsense about "500 to 9000 servings" or whatever it was. What the fuck is a serving? A spoonful? A mouthful? A metric tonne? A metric trainneloadde? And how the fuck can you manage 500000 or 90000000 servings if you don't have a private army of cookpersons and waitpersons and buspersons and dishwashpersons? How the fuck do you have time for anything else?
The plate makes some slight bit of sense. I can sort of halfway understand what they're trying to do.
Following on its success, the British food agency has now introduced the UK version of MyPlate:
¶ 4:30 AM
