From what I gather, they believe that people don't follow the current system at all because of it's vaugeness. 6-11 Servings of grain and 2 servings of meat? So is that six slices of bread and 2 T-Bone steaks? That is how a lot of people read it. It is TOO mysterious to people. People don't have to follow it exactly but they want people to have an idea of what they are talking about. NO ONE will actually sit there and measure everything.

I agree the new system has flaws but I like it a lot more that the system of the past.
