THE 3-WEEK DIET—INTRODUCTION MANUAL
I think the Harvard School of Public Health said it best in their famed article, What Should You
Really Eat?
Here’s an interesting excerpt:
In the children’s book Who Built the Pyramid? different people take credit for building
the once-grand pyramid of Senwosret. King Senwosret, of course, claims the honor.
But so does his architect, the quarry master, the stonecutters, slaves, and the boys who
carried water to the workers.
The USDA’s MyPyramid also had many builders. Some are obvious—USDA scientists,
nutrition experts, staff members, and consultants. Others aren’t. Intense lobbying efforts
from a variety of food industries also helped shape the pyramid.
According to federal regulations, the panel that writes the dietary guidelines must include
nutrition experts who are leaders in pediatrics, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and public
health. Selecting the panelists is no easy task, and is subject to intense lobbying from
organizations such as the National Dairy Council, United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable As-
sociation, Soft Drink Association, American Meat Institute, National Cattlemen’s Beef
Association, and Wheat Foods Council.
