Problems at the Pyramid?

Somebody's having a little fun over at the News & Media page of mypyramid.org. The article selection is clearly biased, and the stories are presented with fun headlines like "Why Uncle Sam Tells You What to Eat," "Industry Applauds New Food Guidance System as Unscientific," and my personal favorite, "A Plant-Based Diet Is a Healthy Choice--For Sissies."

Maybe whoever's over there is tired of those Wheat Council folks walking around like they own the place.

After you have a laugh, you can try to find some of our products on Froogle. I'd suggest searching for Stollen, which returns fewer art prints than other bakery terms. It's a good service, but I'd like to see a level of category organization thrown at it, so that I'm not wading through books and posters when I want to find food. Try the Grid View, which eliminates descriptions but makes it much easier to see your choices.
