I don't see what is so different about the food pyramid for older adults...

It would make sense to assert that older people (and younger people) have different dietary needs than a young or middle-aged adult. I'm with you on that.

But the differences in the food pyramid for older adults sounds exactly like what everyone needs:

Whole, enriched and fortified grains and cereals such as brown rice and 100
percent whole wheat bread.Bright-colored vegetables such as carrots and
broccoli. Deep-colored fruit such as berries and melon.Low- and non-fat dairy
products such as yogurt and low-lactose milk.Dry beans and nuts, fish, poultry,
lean meat and eggs.Liquid vegetable oils and soft spreads low in saturated and
trans fat.Fluid intake.

Uhhh...so what the fuck is different? By the way, let me remind everyone that it is meat/dairy industry propaganda to assert that one needs meat and dairy to be healthy. CRAP. In fact, veganism reduces the risks for a variety of diseases that I am too lazy to properly cite right now.

By now, hopefully we have all learned not to blindly buy into whatever governmental agencies tell us...
