https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/The-FDA-food-plate/m-p/85130#M44945 <P>The FDA released yesterday a replacement for the food pyramid they used for years. It is called a food plate. It shows a glass of milk beside a plate with half the plate covered with fruits and vegetables and a quarter with a piece of chicken and the rest with a piece of bread.The bread is whole wheat and has nothing on it and the chicken is not cooked. It is the most unappetizing thing I have ever looked at. And i don't understand where things are supposed to fit into it -there are absolutely no sugars or fats at all.That is totally unrealistic and fats are a necessary part of every diet, as are simple carbs.I think i will be contuining to follow the old pyramid - it makes much more sense to me.</P> Sun, 05 Jun 2011 11:12:47 GMT 151949 2011-06-05T11:12:47Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/The-FDA-food-plate/m-p/85130#M44945 <P>The FDA released yesterday a replacement for the food pyramid they used for years.
