In the purest sense that may be true. However, when
you consider that the "new" pyramid is replacing the
old (FDA) pyramid, it may not be a good idea to change
the paradigm. Plus, in my experience, a lot of people
do not really deal with the concept of percentages
very well - especially when the factors involved are
not equal (calories per gram being different). In that
respect I like Bill Phillip's portion "guage" - a
portion being equivalent to a fist or a hand.
