More pyramids

[Guest guest]

I subscribe to Newsweek, but I was disappointed to see that the web

version of the food pyramid story does not seem to include the

Willett pyramid, so here's a link to a story that includes Willett's

and the USDA pyramids. The USDA pyramid is near the top of the

story, and Willett's near the bottom.
