The Marilyn Manson Pyramid

December 30, 2007

While we are all debating the merits of grains, whole and not (my bottom line: they are too delicious to give up; like everything else, eat in moderation), how about this version of the USDA’s Pyramid, courtesy of Eminem? Happy new year!

  2. Grains, too delicious to give up? That’s the oddest thing I’ve heard you say, Dr. Nestle. I haven’t eaten a grain product in months, whole or otherwise, and I never miss them. In fact, I guarantee you that every other food in my diet - vegetables, fruits, dairy products, meats, spices, herbs, high quality oils and fats - is much tastier than bland, mushy polenta or gluey steel-cut oats. In fact, nowadays I laugh at recipes that recommend serving a dish over lots of hot rice to “catch the tasty sauce.” The rice just dilutes the delicious sauce. Me, I use a spoon to catch the tasty sauce.

    Sadly, YouTube has taken the video down. But I hope you’re not suggesting that Eminem and Marilyn Manson are the same person! (That would be the second oddest thing I’ve heard you say!)
