The article pretty much talks about why the food pyramid is crap and why they are replacing it. My question is do you think it will make any difference in how we eat?

I think on the whole, it will not. I know I don't follow the food pyramid at all right now...or ever. I eat what I want and I am skinny as hell. It is due to my genes but even then I must be doing something right to be as skinny and as low weight as I am. I tend to think that the majority of Americans have the same view point that they will eat what ever they want and not really care about the consequences even if they start to put on weight.

For my example of that I will use my parents. They are getting up there in age so it is harder to eat they way they did when they were my age. They don't change their eating habits until they hit a "wall" so to say. Then they at least change their eating habits and workout to burn off the weight. Far too many people don't even do that.

I am at this point just rambling but I would like to hear what everyone here has to say about this move and how much of a differene, if any, this will make.
