The government is now going to tell you what to eat

Here's more evidence, as if you needed it, that the federal government just can't trim the fat.
In the late 1970s, before the government began telling us what to eat, 15 percent of adults and 4 percent of children were obese. Now, after 30 years of Department of Agriculture (USDA) dietary guidelines, 34 percent of adults and 20 percent of children are obese.
This means one of two things: Either we are not eating what the government is telling us to eat, or the government is telling us to eat the wrong stuff.
