			I had to work through an assignmet today with a group of kids.  Their mission?  Go to mypyramid.gov and workout a daily menu/plan to meet their caloric needs.
 
 
We had to work to stuff that much food into them.  I started to make my own plan for fun.  I was amazed at the amount of food, and snacks was suggested I suck down.
I know that every food lobby in the country has input on that, but good grief...

			I believe it. I had to take a Nutrition and Digestion science class and when we had to figure out a meal plan for ourselves based on the MyPyramid plan, mine was "complete" enough for a good grade at like 2500 calories a day!

			I just had a quick look and the quantity of food they suggest is a bit high for me. I prefer 
this one, anyway.
