These kinds of lists annoy me because their goal is so obviously political, rather then trying to actually help people. But it's the federal government's nutrition policy of "eat lots of sugar and starches" that is at the heart of much of the weight problem in this country (and probably other countries, too). And with the imminent government takeover of health care, you can imagine where it will be going next. Whatever dietary advice the government gives, you can bet that most of it will be based on pleasing the farm and food lobbies happy, rather than trying to help people live healthy lives.

(And BMI is a bullshit indicator that is not used by anyone except the government. It assumes that people have extremely low muscle mass in order to increase the numbers of overweight and obese people. Pretty much every college and professional athlete is considered "obese" under the BMI. Jes sayin'.)
