okay...ppl think like a huge chunk of bread is one serving when its like 6. THEY DO NOT FOLLOW IT OR EVEN TAKE THE TIME TO MEASURE IT TO SEE IF ITS ONE SERVING OR NOT....THATS Y THEY R OVERWEIGHT. THEY ARE ALSO OVERWEIGHT BECAUSE TV'S AND COMPUTER'S WERE INVENTED..AND ALSO BC THEY ARE TOO LAZY TO COOK HEALTHY MEALS AT HOME...THEY ALWAYS EAT OUT!!!

or rather, we have a large candy bar for our days "sweets" allowance insted of a bit size sugar free bar. or, we have high caloire suace and high carb pasta for dinner instead of lowcal sauce and low carb/caloire pasta.

the food pyramid is right, there is no doubt about it. however, sometimes people dont follow the "0-1 sweets" a day rule. or, one will eat a large plaste of pasta, and consider it one serving, when its acully about 4-6 servings for a large plate.

ok, the food pyramid is wrong about everything! if u eat 6-11 servings of bread and all that stuff a day and all those fruits, vegetables and meats, no wonder Americans are overweight! ~annie
