I try not to think about Ancient Rome every day but I see things like this and it’s unavoidable. Rome was completely dependent on wheat from Egypt. Egypt was completely dependent on wheat from Egypt as well. It’s still so dependent that bread is subsidized so that it is available for the lower class to survive on. French baguettes? Subsidized in France.

This last year I have eaten so much bread. I’m making several pounds of it a week because I can make a pound of bread for less than a dollar. I mix up a big batch of dough and use it all up not even knowing what I’ll be making out of it in advance. It might get turned into bread, pizza crust or pitas. In fact I have 3.5 pounds of it rising on my kitchen island right now.

How much weight did I gain eating all this bread last year? I lost 7 pounds.

Bread is life. It’s the reason that people with gluten issues try so desperately to make bread they can eat. It was there at the birth of agriculture. It made cities possible.

But it’s way down near the bottom of this triangle and red meat is at the top. How are you going to make a good steak sandwich without more bread than steak? Assuming you can afford steak.

For me, this does not look like a basis for which food groups you eat because there is only one separator between grain and non grain.

If I would guess, the idea is to eat equal amounts of meat, vegetables, and grain, as these are the three corners of this samesided triangle

What it looks like for me, though, is a map to show for what constitutes a vegetable, a meat, or a grain.

What we learn:

• Anything with less than 80% grain is not a grain dish (see black line, porridge, for example, is on themeat side of the line)
• vegetables and meats can’t be clearly distinguished (see lack of line)
• an avocado is exactly 1/3 fruit 1/3 meat and 1/3 grain

I really don’t want to make excuses for anything this administration does, and I haven’t looked too much into what the justification of this is supposed to be

But hypothetically if you dumped this new food “pyramid” on my desk, without any other context, and I didn’t know it had anything to do with the trump administration, and asked me to make sense of it I feel like I could come up with something like “whole grains, proteins, and produce are the 3 cornerstones of a healthy diet”

And the pyramid is upside down because no one thing should be the main “foundation” of your diet, it should all be balanced

I kind of feel like the trump/rfk cronies came across a half-finished rough sketch of an idea for a new food pyramid loft in the desk drawer of some competent USDA employee they forced out, threw out the notes they found with it, and pushed it through with their own stupid spin because they wanted to do something showy like coming up with a new food pyramid.

Does this change depending on whether you eat the wooden toy ball inside or keep it to play with?

Your dough looks nice. What is raising it? And the color, is that rye?

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) has shifted to a circle instead of a pyramid:

The portions of the circle refer to volume and not calories. In my opinion this design is superior to pyramids in general because all parts are equally important for a balanced diet, with hydration in the middle.

Do the opposite of anything RFK says.

Standard yeast and unbleached AP.

OK. What’s AP?
