Michael Wolraich: I have a new podcast. Called If Books Could Kill, where we're talking about the worst ideas of the last 50 years and the airport books that helped spread them. And our second episode is about outliers that will either be up by the time you hear this or will about to be up by now. We are talking about the food pyramid, Michael.
In the 1990s, the Food Pyramid was one of the most recognizable symbols in nutrition education. But where did it come from? Why was it created by the agriculture department? And why did it tell us to eat a whole loaf of bread every day?
