A link to 40 charts and graphs showing how the US gets fed... more interesting than it sounds.

That link is amazing. You could spend an hour or two digesting (hee hee) it all.

I've been thinking about my diet a lot lately, and it's interesting to me to see the 3-4 charts on the rise of obesity in this country and how it matches almost exactly in increase in daily caloric intake, and an increase in grain and fat consumption. Americans need to eat fewer grains, less meat, and more fruits and vegetables. The food pyramid from a decade or two ago with grains on the bottom really fucked up this country. I think a lot of people still think grains are good and should be eaten in abundance instead of limited. I know I did. Fuckin' Wheaties.
