Foodvember continues and this week Mrs. Pearlmania delves into the murky history of the food pyramid and myplate dot gov! Marvel at how long it took the USDA to come up with a way to explain balanced meals to the american public, and don't be shocked when lobbyists for entire industries crash through the wall like the kool-aid man and mess it up.

Thank you and Big Meat ™️ for keeping me company at work

Wait wait wait… 13:30 in Mrs. P just casually says, “cooking in a cast iron skillet gives you iron” I had to pull over and research this, it’s blowing my mind

Does Horny Fairy 🧚‍♀️ book have an association with BIG MEAT?!

Alex's "that's not normal"... I said it at the same exact time.

Pelicans are my favorite dinosaur

I had a dog that ate the corners off our piano bench. Big meat! Also, are you familiar with the excellent podcast "Maintenance Phase"? They had multi part episodes into all of the dietary recommendations. Nothing they said conflicted with your episode, they just dug even deeper

Maintenance Phase is a great podcast!!

I was dying at that too. We had a HS teacher who occasionally bodily inserted freshman boys in the garbage can, but it wasn't like...a directive 🤣 (hs was wild in the 80s)

It’s episodes like this where I wonder what the Canadian equivalence of this info is, because it feels like it’d be a little similar but not as grossly and transparently capitalist. (Mostly because not being completely estranged from our colonial parents—Britain and France—we’ve got a bit more socialism baked in culturally. I grew up with the pyramid and now we have the plate (pie chart). Except the only version of the plate I’ve seen has the actual images of the food options per section. I don’t recall official colour coding.

(I grew up in the province, where Canada’s Big Meat 🥩 is concentrated.)

I once edited a math paper funded by Lays that was equations for perfect potato chip cooking/processing Also, I feel like Big Meat would be an incredible racehorse name

Thanks for linking to it. I was concerned I’d get distracted and forget I was mid comment (it’s happened before). I find it interesting that the Appendix includes the process of creating the guide. Heh, I get the tourism thought. I think of TV Guide, personally. Anyways, it’s par for the course here. There always seems to be a heritage, work/road safety, media literacy, physical fitness, or other public service announcement commercial popping up. Pre-pandemic they were even before movie trailers at the theatre.

Listening back 6 months later, glad my shout out made Mrs. P laugh

Tyrannosaurus Bex

Listening back 6 months later, I was the shout out before you and I thought Mr P misread my last name as your's, but no, we just have the same last name

Maggie Stough

He did not pronounce it correctly so maybe we don’t have the same last name after all 🤣
