Brightbridge Wealth Management Headlines:USDA food pyramid out, food plate in (PICTURES)
http://brightbridge-wealthmanagement.com/2011/06/brightbridge-wealth-management-headlinesusda-food-pyramid-out-food-plate-in-pictures/
The new design incorporates seven key dietary messages:
- Enjoy your food, but eat less
- Avoid oversized portions
- Make half your plate fruits and vegetables
- Drink water instead of sugary drinks
- Make at least half your grains whole grains
- Switch to fat-free or low-fat (1 percent) milk
- Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals – and choose the foods with lower numbers.
Experts argued the now-defunct pyramid lumped all types of foods in its design – including unhealthy ones at the top of the pyramid . That made it hard to tell which foods were better choices.
“The original icon was a bit misleading, e.g., all fats are bad,” Dr. Sara Bleich, an assistant professor of public health at Johns Hopkins University, told ABC News.
USDA spent $2 million to design and promote the plate, the Times reported. Will this costly venture cause Americans to eat better?

Brightbridge Wealth Management Headlines: Facebook executive takes heat in hearing on privacy
http://www.your-story.org/brightbridge-wealth-management-headlines-facebook-executive-takes-heat-in-hearing-on-privacy-244771/
A leading senator, angry that Facebook Inc. failed to stop millions of preteens from using its social networking site, accused co-founder Mark Zuckerberg of lacking “social values” and being more concerned with building the company than with children’s privacy.
“It’s my general feeling that people who are 20, 21, 22 years old really don’t have any social values at this point,” Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John D. Rockefeller IV (D-W.Va.) told another top Facebook executive at a hearing Thursday.
“I think he was focused on how the business model would work,” Rockefeller said about Zuckerberg, who was a 19-year-old Harvard student when he created Facebook in 2004. “He wanted to make it bigger and faster and better than anybody else ever had.”
The company’s policy requires users to be at least 13, a move designed to avoid federal regulations for websites used by young children. But a recent Consumer Reports survey found that about 7.5 million active Facebook users were younger than 13.
