    I feel the same and I share my thoughts with my kids about foodsz My daughter got her work marked wrong because the things they have in the 'everyday' foods I told her ages ago that its not necessary every day. One thing that miffs me about schooling. Not much room for freethinkers or other ways of thinking - all simply right or wrong.

    That really saddens me - now that I have a little one, I would rather she learn how to think for herself, and not take everything institutions (such as school) tell her as gospel and be taught WHAT to think.

    Things like the food pyramid are really out of date - they don't even include nuts and seeds on there. And I think veggies should really be the biggest portion...

    Maybe they've changed it since I was at school but it used to have nuts on it. They're with the meats and fish. And the seeds are with the complex carbs.

    FWIW the first food pyramid was developed in Sweden and it had nothing to do with dairy farmers.
