 The conception is that if you eat according to the food pyramid you're going to remain healthy, you're going to be healthy, and the reality is the exact opposite.

The conception is that if you eat according to the food pyramid you're going to remain healthy, you're going to be healthy, and the reality is the exact opposite.
