“The food pyramid is dead. Long live the plate!

The USDA today announced the latest attempt to conceptualize the government’s dietary advice in a way consumers can understand.

Half of the plate is made up of fruits and vegetables and the other half grains and protein, with the sections for vegetables and grains slightly bigger than those for fruits and protein. Off to the side is a cup representing milk or other dairy product.”

I’m not sure this will have any observable effect on dietary habits of the American public, but simplifying nutrition recommendations is certainly a step in the right direction.  The food pyramid (the previous model used to illuminate portion distribution) was unnecessarily complex and made patient teaching harder.  I would print out the pyramid for my patients and they would immediately lose interest in what I was saying - a balanced diet seemed too complex and not for them. 

This simple diagram will be a easier way for patient’s to reflect on their current diets and also to model future meals.

Of course, I love the advice Michael Pollan (well-know food intellectual, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma) gives “Eat food. Not too Much. Mostly plants.”

He offers an impressively simple solution to one our nation’s more challenging questions - what do we need to eat to be optimally heathy? Or for most people, what to we need to eat to be healthier than we are right now. 

The Radical Notion That Doctors Are People, Too [Psychology Today]

The Radical Notion That Doctors Are People, Too [Psychology Today]:

I completely understand the argument. As doctors, people with lives on their hands, of course we expect them to be “different”. Someone who is better than us, smarter than us, more knowledgable than us. But what we fail to realize as patients alot of the times that they themselves too are only human, prove to error and mistakes. They are only “human”, the cliche goes. And wouldn’t you want doctors to be well rested and well adjusted in their personal lives. That way, they are better people and thus better doctors. I understand the flip side of things but I believe doctors, even more so than us patients, deserve a life. After a stressful day at work, everyone wants to return to a loving family. Imagine a day where many lives hinge on your ingenuity and intelligence, THAT is stressful. I, for one, would just like to say thank to all the doctors, nurses and health care practitioners out there. Thank you for keeping us safe and sacrificing your lives in the process.
