Thats dumb. The excercise should already be obvious.

Its impossible to see what balance of nutrition they want.

I can't even tell if half of 'em are bigger than each other.

This is what happens when you let the feds "make it sizzle". You wind up with McGruff's dorky nephew and a pyramid that looks like something off the cover of a Pink Floyd album.

That's no pyramid, it's a gay pride triangle.

 

[Toastedlightly]

YEA!!! CONFUSE KIDS MORE!! W00t!

 

[brigden]

Look at how much milk they recommend! Man, that is pure BS. The US dairy farmers must have deep pockets and a powerful lobby!

[StageLeft]

Confusing, not to mention asinine. How much money did the blow on this sh*t?

 

[DaWhim]

that's dumb, they need to get rid of the pyramid

So this is the critic's thoughts about the average consumer?
"Der-der-der... I just don't get why I'm fat when I only eat 4 twinkies for dessert after my 12 oz steak and potatoes, after my triple cheeseburger and mega-size fries and pop for lunch! It's not like I don't exercise... I have to walk up 3 stairs to get into my house"

That's hilarious.

It reminds me of American Beauty... "What the hell is that, a god damn gay pride parade?"
Colonel Frank Fitz... what a guy.

Long live the even more confusing gay pride triangle.
