Michelle Obama Has Replaced the Food Pyramid . . . With Something Even Lamer

Years ago, the government decided the best way to battle poor nutrition and obesity was with lame clip art:  They developed something called the Food Pyramid . . . that colorful, confusing triangle that tried to show us how much of each food group we should be eating.

Critics in the nutrition industry said it encouraged obesity, while most regular people didn't really understand it at all.

Well, that has changed.  As part of MICHELLE OBAMA'S Get Fit campaign, the government has scrapped the pyramid and replaced it with something even lamer:  A plate.   

The First Lady unveiled 'My Plate' . . . a plate divided into four sections: fruits, vegetables, proteins, and grains.  It's supposed to show you how much of each food group should cover your plate.

If you're wondering where the dairy group went, there's a cup next to My Plate labeled Dairy.
