I was really really expecting this would be an interesting thread full of flame and confusion.

2:1 says it was because of a redefining of "obesity" in the interim. There was quite a bit of that at the FDA in the early nineties including the introduction of the "food pyramid", etc etc etc.
Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!Comment

By eating healthy, taking care yourself, you don't really live any longer. It just feels longer.
When you find yourself arguing with an idiot, you might want to rethink who the idiot really is.

Yeah, when some group (even a government agency) all of a sudden notes a mathematically dubious increase/decrease in the activity they're promoting/fighting against, the general rule is become very, very suspicious. Odds are what you have is a redefining of terms that help keeps the group, and their agenda, current.Originally posted by Kassiopeia
Excellent point, I hadn't thought about that.
A quick Google shows that the FDA dietary guidelines has been revised at least twice - once in 2000, again in 2005.
Ahhh. Here it is:
The guidelines -- which had themselves been condensed into a 39-page booklet -- are revised every five years and have since been changed to reflect new research. But the pyramid remains unchanged. What's more, some experts say it was never much good to begin with. All this nutritional wrangling has left ordinary Americans with a less than simple message. And it has The Why Files wondering: Is it time to rebuild the pyramid?

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
