Cute cartoon. Not sure how I feel about the new guidelines. Not too bad, but in my opinion too heavily weighted towards meat and not recognizing that healthy grains are good and I feel they should have a more prominent role. Also, very hard for those on a limited budget to achieve, as grains and beans are cheap, meat and fresh veggies are not. I do agree with less processed foods and much less sugar and simple carbohydrates. Overall, I would say the inverted pyramid is pretty problematic, and more opinion and politically based than science based. Sorry for the serious comments in a humor post. Think I will make it a separate post, can also get a religious angle as to diet as well.

Just realized the cows in that pic are Holstein, a dairy breed, so maybe not that much of a threat to them.

Five doctors went duck shooting one day. Included in the group were a GP, a pediatrician, a psychiatrist, a surgeon and a pathologist, After a time, a bird came winging overhead. The first to react was the GP who raised his shotgun, but then hesitated. “I’m not quite sure it’s a duck,” he said, “I think that I will have to get a second opinion.” And ofcourse by that time, the bird was long gone.
Another bird appeared in the sky thereafter. This time the pediatrician drew a bead on it. He too, however, was unsure if it was really a duck in his sights and besides, it might have babies. “I’ll have to do some more investigations,” he muttered, as the creature made good its escape.
Next to spy a bird flying was the sharp-eyed psychiatrist. Shotgun shouldered, he was more certain of his intended prey’s identity. “Now, I know it’s a duck, but does it know it’s a duck?” The fortunate bird disappeared while the fellow wrestled with this dilemma.
Finally a fourth fowl sped past and this time the surgeon’s weapon pointed skywards. BOOM!! The surgeon lowered his smoking gun and turned nonchalantly to the pathologist beside him. "Go see if that was a duck, will you?
