The Null Device

You know that food pyramid thingy, compiled by the US Government, which says that you should eat a lot of red meat, dairy products and grains to stay healthy? Well, it now turns out that it overemphasises products of key agricultural industries, such as dairy and beef. Meanwhile, a version compiled by a Harvard professor, without special interests in mind, deemphasises grains and calcium and lumps red meat with such no-nos as sweets and butter. The US Government putting corporate interests before its citizens' health? Say it's not so! (via Rebecca's Pocket)
