AMD has been ordering lunch in for us since the chip came back, and I'm about to switch back to normal packed lunches. Being a good person, I decided that maybe I'd look at the food pyramid to see what I should be eating. I know I'm overweight, and this sounds like a good thing to try to do properly without having to count calories or anything. Makes sense, right?
So, I go to the government website for it, and find out that now people have customized food pyramids based on their own information. Sounds good. So, I put in my information. What do I get?
"You're very overweight and should see a doctor. Would you like to see the pyramid for someone in the ideal weight range?"
Excuse me?!? We can only help healthy people stay healthy? You're on your own because you're overweight and obviously don't follow healthy eating habits?
What a complete crock.
