USDA Guidelines
Roy Rivenburg wrote and interesting review on the new USDA dietary guidelines,
Scaling food pyramid makes one guinea pig a lesser man “The USDA's revised guidelines work all the angles, but those inhuman sugar limits may sour those looking for a long-term fix.”
It encouraged us to download the guidelines and review them ourselves. We found them quite informative but agree with Roy that they are confusing for the layman.
Whereas we prefer more detailed information, so that we may optimize our potential through nutritional intake, many folks may easily be frustrated with the new guidelines.
We found that the most effective method was to use the interactive health index in combination with the guidelines for an interactive lesson on nutritional guidance. It is amazing to see how deficient one may be in certain areas, even if we think we are being most judicious.
