It is so awful I would rather just crawl under my desk and pretend I never saw it. One diabetes magazine editor noted wryly that every nutritional study that came out the week of its issue contradicted it. Today's "helpful hint" on the Myplate website is something directly related to causing obesity. CNN is hosting an amusing iReporter contest which illustrates just how absurd it is. There is nothing good to say.
The antidote: Gary Taube's Good Calories, Bad Calories. It's a bit of a scientific slog, but at least it isn't complete...
Right then, I should just be ignoring it.
