You Are What You Eat

I'm not sure if this say more about us as a race, or the British researchers conducting the study. From a BBC online article:

"Children largely inherit their taste for high-protein food like meat and fish, research suggests. However, Cancer Research UK found a liking for vegetables and puddings was less likely to be fixed."

Puddings?

...

Puddings?

Since when the hell did that become a food group?

They keep changing the pyramid so often that sometimes they have to make up a group to fill out the tippy-top.

Puddings is kind of a meaty-mushy-quasi-veggie-grain-type thingie.

With fruit.

Raisins are a fruit, right?

Oh, and dear me - I thought the top of the pyramid was 'cheetos'. They're clearly in a class of their own!
