Sarah C. Corriher: The Perversion of the Food Pyramid
Yhdysvaltain virallisia ravitsemussuosituksia (DGA) laatimassa ollut Luise Light on paljastanut kirjassaan
A Fatally Flawed Food Guide, että suositukset väännettiin palvelemaan prosessoitua ruokaa tuottavan elintarviketeollisuuden etuja. Kirjassa on tarkoin dokumentoitu kuinka kaikki sanamuotojen tarkkaa viilaamista myöten tapahtui.

Luise Light, Ed.D, a former U.S.D.A. nutritionist, wrote extensively about the food pyramid, long after she was asked to help revise it. Since leaving the U.S.D.A., she has written the book, A Fatally Flawed Food Guide, which chronicles her experience. It explains how the food pyramid was not redesigned in the interest of health, but on behalf of those in the processed foods industry.
...
In recent times, the pyramid was changed yet again, so that it no longer gives any clear recommendations whatsoever. It is fairly open to artistic interpretation. This is the goal. There is no legitimate health reason for having carbohydrates as the most important food group. That is, unless the agenda is to make people fat and diseased.
