Who is being taught the food pyramid? Its been 20 years since it was discontinued. I don't know any children being taught it.

I've seen this over and over - adults assuming that what happens in schools today is the same their childhood experience in the classroom, frozen in time.

Parents of school-age children ranting and raving about how the school needs to stop doing X, when it hasn't been that way forever; and they cannot hear it, cannot absorb it, cannot stop talking about it. Something something childhood trauma.
