Wow! Just when we thought it was safe to rely on the food pyramid, it cloned itself into several pyramids for ethnic groups and lifestyles. Let me know when there's a fat, German-American, mid fifties Northern California Resident Pyramid I can use. Actually, this chapter does that! It goes a long way toward making Government guidelines understandable and useful and then gives us a blank pyramid to make our own. Brilliant! Now we can use our personal pyramid to balance the foods we like into a healthy lifestyle. Cool!
