The Base of the Food Pyramid – Whole Grains

October 3rd, 2008

The base of the New Food Pyramid is still grains – but the focus has turned to make sure there are more WHOLE grains, not just empty starch. Interestingly enough though you can see (if you click on the image) that the allowance is for only half of the grains to be whole grain. My personal opinion is that this is still cutting us short of our much needed fiber and vitamins in our diets that we can get from only whole grains.

A diet which consists of virtually all fo the grain choices as whole grain is healthier than what is recommended. Remember, however, even if you consume only whole grains as your base, there still is a limit of how much to consume.

Best Blessings!

Honestly, though, it got me thinking and wondering what’s wrong with the typical food storage list. […]
Water, water everywhere nor any a drop to drink.
This line from the poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner rings more true when thinking of surviving difficult times. As we’ve stated before in at least one email that has gone out to everyone who subscribes, water is more VITAL than food when surviving is the issue. A human body can last at least […]
Learning Survival Skills, Techniques and Planning
Although I would not classify what our family does as being ‘Survivalists’, we do factor that portion of planning and preparing into our ‘Prepping’ lifestyle. The skills, tools, techniques and planning it takes to survive in difficult times have been lost due to the over abundance of conveniences. Even if you don’t plan on ‘roughing […]
