Back in 2003 I found on this whole sale grain processing company's  
web site http://www.cerealfood.com/home.html
a link promoting the USDA Food Pyramid www.cerealfoods.com/pyramid  
(it has been removed)
But it said: "Because we fully recognize that the success of Cereal  
Foods is dependent on the success of the baking industry and  
breadstuffs in general, we are active in assisting organizations such  
as the Wheat Foods Council in promoting the USDA Food Guide Pyramid.  
If Americans ate just the minimum of six servings as recommended in  
the pyramid graphic, an additional $7 billion in wholesale baked  
goods would be realized. Cereal Foods Processor believes in making  
this possibility a reality."


Now, speaking of Dean Ornish.  Has anyone noticed that he looks over  
weight and has a double chin?   Take a look at him here:

He will soon be 55 years old but in this picture taken last year when  
he was 53 he looks 75 years old.  Notice how his hair is so dry it  
looks like brown steel wool?

I remember there was a lot of criticism of Atkins look at age 73. I  
can't find a picture of Atkins as high res as the one of Ornish but  
take a look here:
