it well, that no one (at least who I know) is advocating ectaduion only to fix food. But this gets back to why I'm so puzzled about the MyPlate throw-down. I think a lot of people believe, as I do, that food in the U.S. needs fixing, but also that the solutions are going to come mostly in small, additive steps. MyPlate may not ultimately help anyone, but it's a symbol and it replaces a worse one. On some level that's a tiny win, a small step forward. So why scoff at it? Why not acknowledge it's an improvement, suggest where it can be improved, and move on in search of the next win? Do we need clear policy solutions? Of course we do. But ectaduion primes the pump, and the two go hand in hand. So instead of laying the many food problems (marketing to kids, bogus subsidies) at the foot of MyPlate, let's turn it around and say, Hey, geniuses, let's bring the rest of your policies into line with this new nutrition guide you just created.
