Everyone knows about the USDA Food Pyramid, but did you know that there are other food pyramids that challenge the USDA's version?
At Noshtopia today, I compare the USDA Food Pyramid to the "Healthy Eating Pyramid" created by Harvard Medical which is based on the best available scientific evidence about the links between diet
and health, and the University of Michigan Integrative Medicine, " which is based on a more holistic view of foods which grades foods more on their healing characteristics. I think these 3 pyramids are great to compare as each has a good representation of governmental, scientific, and holistic views.

I ask the question, "Which food pyramid makes sense to you?"
