Candid Food

Because things change and we have to up date!*

For nearly two decades, the U.S. government distilled its nutrition advice into pyramids. These efforts didn’t accurately show people what makes up a healthy diet. Why? Their recommendations were based on out-of-date science and influenced by people with business interests in the messages the icons sent.

Now we have better alternatives: the new Healthy Eating Plate and the Healthy Eating Pyramid, both built by faculty members in the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health.They are based on the latest science about how our food, drink, and activity choices affect our health.

Click on the links to check them out, revise your knowledge and while not eating some of the delicious plates of this blog, try to make healthy choices happen! =D

*and because the nutritionist vein still runs inside of me, even though all this butter in my recipes =)
