Personal Pyramids Wave of the Future

The rising number of overweight, inactive
Americans is shaking the Food Guide Pyramid to its foundation. As the
U.S. Department of Agriculture prepares to revamp the pyramid in 2005,
it is proposing tailoring its advice to sedentary Americans
to help
them avoid overeating. The current pyramid, an at-a-glance portrayal of
federal nutrition advice unveiled in 1992, assumes most Americans are healthy
and active.
