United States Department of Agribusiness

everyone totally has to check this out. for those of you who don't know, the united states department of agriculture recently updated their dietary guidelines for all americans and the food guide pyramid. they released this information through their website: www.mypyramid.gov. today, my boss accidentally typed in www.mypyramid.org and found that someone had created a hillarious spoof site that reveals the truth about the usda.

they title their website 'the united states department of agribusiness.' here is an excerpt from their homepage:
"Welcome to MyPyramid.org! USDA hopes the updated food pyramid, MyPyramid, will help to ease much of the confusion that has come from so-called "doctors" and "scientists" claiming that their independent, repeatable experimentation has shown red meat, processed foods, agrichemicals and irradiation to be unhealthy for people and the planet. Many of USDA's top officials have worked in the Agribusiness industry, providing the expertise necessary to develop a pyramid that best represents the truth about healthy eating -- it's not what happens to the food before it gets to your table, but simply that you eat substantial servings of all foods -- Following these guidelines will help ensure the health of American families while guaranteeing the health of Agribusiness Corporations around the world.
