All this talk about flipping the food pyramid reminded me why I stopped listening to it in the first place. Reading The Dorito Effect was a wake-up call.
That book exposed the truth: most “food” today isn’t food. It’s engineered garbage designed to hijack your brain, kill your hunger signals, and keep you addicted while your health gets worse.
This isn’t a willpower issue. It’s a rigged system.
Parents need to say this out loud to their kids: some food is real, and some food is garbage. If we don’t teach them that early, corporations will—and their goal is profit, not your kid’s health.
I don’t follow pyramids or guidelines anymore. I eat and raisee real food. Period.
