Scientists Blame Food Pyramid for Obesity Epidemic

It is about time that mainstream science is beginning to see the light. Chapter 20 of my 2002 book, Mastering Leptin, is “Eat like a pyramid, look like a pyramid.” A new scientific review of the evidence shows that America's obesity epidemic is traceable to the shoddy public health policy and bogus nutrition science pushed on Americans by the federal government since 1970. Of course, the federal government policy was not based on sound nutritional science, it was formulated based on lobbyist money of various fractions of the food industry who needed the policy to get reimbursement for selling garbage food in school lunch programs.

Our government is a huge factor in the obesity epidemic – for many reasons. Will those who tried to follow the food pyramid for decades, only to find themselves obese and developing diabetes and heart disease now be able to sue the federal government?
