he Obama Administration is getting ready to ditch the Food Pyramid, a symbol of healthy eating for the last two decades.
In its place, officials are "dishing up" a simple, plate-shaped symbol, sliced into wedges for basic food groups and half-filled with fruits and vegetables.
Beside the plate is a smaller circle for dairy, suggesting a glass of low-fat milk or perhaps a yogurt cup.
The revised pyramid is part of the administration's crusade against obesity, led by first lady Michelle Obama.

Thanks to the voters who put obama in og=ffice, thereby giving the environmentalists an opportunity top implement and further their agenda, the United States of America is about to change the food pyramid. It will be replaced by the starvation pyramid.

The food pyramid “feeding” recommendations are the same that are used to fatten cattle before slaughter.

>> It will be replaced by the starvation pyramid.
Obama wants to replace the food pyramid with a real pyramid, and American slaves can build it as a tribute to him. If we get uppity, we can make bricks without straw.

Want to combat obesity?
Get kids away from the TV, off their computers, and off their asses. Make it a federal offense to use welfare money/food stamps for beer, soda, ice cream, cookies, etc. If you smoke, no free healthcare for you. If you are obese, no free healthcare for you.
Michelle Obama is an idiot. Health is a result of the choices we make, and it isn’t hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle if you have the willpower to do it.
