 USDA Food Guide Pyramid

In
1992 the United States Department of Agriculture published dietary
guidelines in the shape of a pyramid to represent daily serving
recommendations. The higher up the pyramid a food group sat the less a
person should consume. Well last week I was going through a big huge box

of a nightmare of medical bills and records searching for a needle in a
haystack and I came across a glossy full color brochure of this pyramid
circa year 2000. I was shocked to see a recommended 6-11 servings a day
of bread/rice/pasta/cereal. Are you kidding me? I didn’t know a person
could eat that much in a day and have room for anything else. But what
really got my goat was seeing a small order of french fries listed as
two servings of vegetables!
And we wonder where heart disease came from…

They
changed this pyramid drastically in 2005 after America reached epic
levels of obesity. Perhaps pasta with a bagel and Honey Nut Cheerios is
not a nutritious breakfast after all? I am glad to see current
recommendations, the pyramid shown above, are becoming hip to the
concept of natural eating. When
I got sick it didn’t take long for me to realize not every ailment in
life came with a pill, procedure or medical cure to fix it. I
immediately looked at what I fueled my body with, seeking out an honest
to goodness education
in clean nutrition and holistic principals. But the more I discovered
the
less sense how I was taught to eat made. Hell, how I was taught to live made.
Things like margarine and diet soda quickly became nothing more than
poison to me, things I wanted to avoid at all cost. High fructose corn
syrup, oh no we ain’t friends no mo’! Years later I have made this my
lifestyle. I eat as clean as I can and shun chemicals both in and on my
body. It didn’t cure my Fibro but is a big component of keeping it
managed. On the occasions I decide to go off the reservation boy do I
sure pay with an ugly reminder of what a processed diet does to me.  


This
experience taught me a huge lesson in life, not to take anything at
face value. No longer do I live and die by the doctrine of  massive,
interest-driven agencies telling me what to believe as absolute truth.
Perhaps this huge misdirection in dietary guidelines is what gave me the
courage to buck modern medicine when it failed to offer a treatment or
cure for symptoms so severe they disabled me. They told me to live with
it. I couldn’t and embarked on yet another journey of self-discovery in
learning how to get a grip on my life and therefore my illness. Getting
sick taught me many things I didn’t know before. It will teach the next
person
completely different things, concepts and realities closely vetted to
who they are as a person. We are all not the same but the spirit of
survival is inherent to all animals, the human no exception. I refused
to be a victim and figured out how to make life liveable again. On my
own terms, using knowledge I sought out that made sense to me.

Thanks for joining,
Leah
