facebook ^^
Facebook - a popular name among those who are so into it. Individuals who have an account in Facebook are now using more of their time to socialize with other people amidst the distance and lack of time. And even if a community like Facebook serves numerous advantages, it also proves to have certain disadvantages as well. There are now series of improvements in the system just to make up with the shortcomings. Arguments regarding the different advantages and disadvantages of Facebook are stated below.
Advantages
· Allows user search for new and old friends
· Accessible to chosen universities having a high level of security
· Makes it less awkward when communicating with strangers or people you are not familiar with
· Love attraction - can be used as a dating service system
· Makes it easier to join groups having similar likes and dislikes
· Allows members to check students who are taking the same class, living within the same area, or coming from the same academy
Disadvantages
· Overcrowding
· Weakening long distance relationship
· Unsupported by physical adjacency
· Contributes wide-range procrastination
· Rampant addiction
· Stalking is possible
· Acquaintances be labeled as friends
Surely, the disadvantages don't pose a threat to you just by merely looking at it. Someone else has to prove that what users do with their profile is directly in proportion with what can happen to them. A user must understand what he is trying to give out otherwise things might get messy and people will mistook them as someone else.
It is quite obvious that a trade off is happening between the advantages and disadvantages of Facebook. While it increases the communication and connection between friends and the online community it also increases the risk of procrastination and makes it easier for others to stalk a user. Worse, some are actually punished for what they put on their profile and would claim that it was there only for fun.
Despite the above mentioned advantages and disadvantages of an online networking service, it still is gaining demand and popularity among the young crowd. There are about 10,000 students (professionals and young professionals not yet included) who are joining into Facebook every day. This is regardless of the age, race and country. Some are now trying to criticize the status of professionalism of this site whether it's just another fad like other online networking services are.

Long Jokes and Stories
There are a few things guaranteed to strike fear in the heart of even the strongest war veteran: --a 3-year old who has just begun wearing big-kid underclothes squatted in the corner with a look of fierce concentration on his face; --a little tiny voice from the back seat saying 'I gots to use the potty' when you are in bumper to bumper traffic; --total silence from a room full of children; --a boom/crash from the other room and the sound of many feet scampering in all directions; --a boom/crash from the other room...and silence; --the sound of a flush from a bathroom occupied only by a 2 year old --all the kids huddled in the corner, whispering, when all you can overhear are the words, "Don't tell Mom!"
The First Parent
by Bill Cosby
Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to his kids.
After creating Heaven and Earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said to them was: "Don't."
"Don't what?", Adam replied.
"Don't eat the forbidden fruit."
"Forbidden fruit? Really? Where is it?"
"It's over there," said God, wondering why he hadn't stopped after making the elephants.
A few minutes later God saw the kids having an apple break and He was angry.
"Didn't I tell you not to eat that fruit?" the First Parent asked.
"Uh huh," Adam replied.
"Then why did you?"
"I dunno," Adam answered.
God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own.
Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed. But there is reassurance in this story.
If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give them wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself.
If God had trouble handling children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?
--- Bill Cosby
HOW TO RECOVER FROM ILLNESS
Instructions
- 1 Accept personal responsibility for your illness. Understand that it's up to you to follow a treatment plan and get help when you need it. Work closely with your doctor to devise a treatment plan to recover from the mental illness. Stick to your plan.
- 2 Educate yourself so that you know all about your mental illness. Understanding your illness can help you recover. It helps you make wise choices about your treatment and the way you live your life. Visit the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) website to inform yourself, find support and take action.
- 3
- Get involved in education and support group programs for your specific type of mental illness. NAMI will assist you in finding local support groups and online communities and discussion groups to help you better recover from your mental illness.
- 4 Monitor yourself daily to begin recognizing which daily events may trigger or increase your symptoms. This can help you avoid those triggers completely, or at least recognize warnings signs that you may have an episode.
- 5 Develop coping strategies for unexpected situations that can trigger symptoms. Unexpected things happen in life that can throw anyone off their path. An argument with your spouse, job loss or a final notice on a bill could create stress and anxiety which in turn can trigger certain symptoms and behavior indicating mental illness.
- 6 Create a plan for dealing with situations where you realize you may be in trouble. Your plan can include contacting your spouse, a parent, trusted friend or doctor to help stabilize the situation so you can continue to recover from mental illness.
- 7 Build some form of exercise into your daily routine, even if you don't feel like it. Exercise releases endorphins which helps you feel better and can help you recover from mental illness. Go for daily walks or work with your doctor to come up with a realistic exercise plan to help in your recovery.

STRESS !!!
Stress and homeostasis[edit]
The term stress had none of its contemporary connotations before the 1920s. It is a form of the Middle English destresse, derived via Old French from the Latin stringere, "to draw tight."[1] The word had long been in use in physics to refer to the internal distribution of a force exerted on a material body, resulting in strain. In the 1920s and 1930s biological and psychological circles occasionally used the term to refer to a mental strain or to a harmful environmental agent that could cause illness. Walter Cannon used it in 1926 to refer to external factors that disrupted what he called homeostasis.[2] But "[...] Stress as an explanation of lived experience is absent from both lay and expert life narratives before the 1930s".[3]Homeostasis is a concept central to the idea of stress. In biology, most biochemical processes strive to maintain equilibrium, a steady state that exists more as an ideal and less as an achievable condition. Environmental factors, internal or external stimuli, continually disrupt homeostasis; an organism’s present condition is a state in constant flux moving about a homeostatic point that is that organism’s optimal condition for living. Factors causing an organism’s condition to diverge too far from homeostasis can be experienced as stress. A life-threatening situation such as a physical insult or prolonged starvation can greatly disrupt homeostasis. On the other hand, an organism’s effortful attempt at restoring conditions back to or near homeostasis, often consuming energy and natural resources, can also be interpreted as stress. In such instances, an organism’s fight-or-flight response recruits the body's energy stores and focuses attention to overcome the challenge at hand.[citation needed]
The ambiguity in defining this phenomenon was first recognized by Hans Selye (1907-1982) in 1926. In 1951 a commentator loosely summarized Selye's view of stress as something that "…in addition to being itself, was also the cause of itself, and the result of itself."[4][5] First to use the term in a biological context, Selye continued to define stress as "the non-specific response of the body to any demand placed upon it". As of 2011[update] neuroscientists such as Bruce McEwen and Jaap Koolhaas believe that stress, based on years of empirical research, "should be restricted to conditions where an environmental demand exceeds the natural regulatory capacity of an organism".[6] Despite the numerous definitions[which?] given to stress, homeostasis appears to lie at its core
FRIENDS !
Sharing good times with good friends is the greatest joy. This is the stuff that makes life worthwhile. Whether sharing a meal together or a good conversation, there is nothing more fulfilling then spending time with friends. We must be thankful for the friendships that come our way for not all are blessed with the skills to form deep relationships. Those of us that do have friends must never take for granted the gift bestowed upon us.

GOODNESS OF TEA
Put down those saucer cups and get chugging — tea is officially awesome for your health. But before loading up on Red Zinger, make sure that your “tea” is actually tea. Real tea is derived from a particular plant (Camellia sinensis) and includes only four varieties: green, black, white, and oolong. Anything else (like herbal “tea”) is an infusion of a different plant and isn’t technically tea.
But what real tea lacks in variety, it makes up for with some serious health benefits. Researchers attribute tea’s health properties to polyphenols (a type of antioxidant) and phytochemicals. Though most studies have focused on the better-known green and black teas, white and oolong also bring benefits to the table. Read on to find out why coffee’s little cousin rocks your health.
- Tea can boost exercise endurance. Scientists have found that the catechins (antioxidants) in green tea extract increase the body’s ability to burn fat as fuel, which accounts for improved muscle endurance.
- Drinking tea could help reduce the risk of heart attack. Tea might also help protect against cardiovascular and degenerative diseases.
- The antioxidants in tea might help protect against a boatload of cancers, including breast, colon, colorectal, skin, lung, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, liver, ovarian, prostate and oral cancers. But don’t rely solely on tea to keep a healthy body — tea is not a miracle cure, after all. While more studies than not suggest that tea has cancer-fighting benefits, the current research is mixed.
- Tea helps fight free radicals. Tea is high in oxygen radical absorbance capacity (“ORAC” to its friends), which is a fancy way of saying that it helps destroy free radicals (which can damage DNA) in the body. While our bodies are designed to fight free radicals on their own, they’re not 100 percent effective — and since damage from these radical oxygen ninjas has been linked to cancer, heart disease and neurological degeneration, we’ll take all the help we can get.
- Tea is hydrating to the body (even despite the caffeine!).
- Drinking tea is linked with a lower risk of Parkinson’s disease. When considered with other factors like smoking, physical activity, age and body mass index, regular tea drinking was associated with a lowered risk of Parkinson’s disease in both men and women.
- Tea might provide protection from ultraviolet rays. We know it’s important to limit exposure to UV rays, and we all know what it’s like to feel the burn. The good news is that green tea may act as a back-up sunscreen.
- Tea could keep waist circumference in check. In one study, participants who regularly consumed hot tea had lower waist circumference and lower BMI than non-consuming participants. Scientists speculate that regular tea drinking lowers the risk of metabolic syndrome (which increases the risk of diabetes, artery disease and stroke), although it’s important to remember that correlation does not equal causation.
- Regular tea drinking might also counteract some of the negative effects of smoking and might even lessen the risk of lung cancer (good news, obviously, but not a justification for cigs).
- Tea could be beneficial to people with Type 2 diabetes. Studies suggest that compounds in green tea could help diabetics better process sugars.
- Tea can help the body recover from radiation. One study found that tea helped protect against cellular degeneration upon exposure to radiation, while another found that tea can help skin bounce back postexposure.
- Green tea has been found to improve bone mineral density and strength.
- Tea might be an effective agent in the prevention and treatment of neurological diseases, especially degenerative diseases (think Alzheimer’s). While many factors influence brain health, polyphenols in green tea may help maintain the parts of the brain that regulate learning and memory.
- Keep it cool. Repeatedly drinking hot beverages may boost the risk of esophageal cancer. Give tea several minutes to cool off before sipping.
- The studies seem convincing, but a rat does not a human make. Chemicals in tea may react differently in the lab than they do in the human body. Tannins (and the other good stuff in green tea) may not be bioavailable for humans, meaning tea might not always benefit human health to the same degree as in lab studies suggest.
- All tea drinks are not created equal. The body’s access to the good stuff in tea might be determined by the tea variety, canning and processing, and the way it was brewed.
Do you drink tea regularly? Have you noticed any health benefits? Let us know in the comments below!

DATABASE
A database is an organized collection of data. The data are typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality in a way that supports processes requiring this information. For example, modeling the availability of rooms in hotels in a way that supports finding a hotel with vacancies.
Database management systems (DBMSs) are specially designed applications that interact with the user, other applications, and the database itself to capture and analyze data. A general-purpose database management system (DBMS) is a software system designed to allow the definition, creation, querying, update, and administration of databases. Well-known DBMSs include MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Microsoft SQL Server,Oracle, SAP, dBASE, FoxPro, IBM DB2, LibreOffice Base and FileMaker Pro. A database is not generally portable across different DBMS, but different DBMSs can interoperate by using standards such as SQL and ODBC or JDBC to allow a single application to work with more than one database
A "database management system" (DBMS) is a suite of computer software providing the interface between users and a database or databases. Because they are so closely related, the term "database" when used casually often refers to both a DBMS and the data it manipulates.
Outside the world of professional information technology, the term database is sometimes used casually to refer to any collection of data (perhaps a spreadsheet, maybe even a card index). This article is concerned only with databases where the size and usage requirements necessitate use of a database management system.[1]
The interactions catered for by most existing DBMS fall into four main groups:
Both a database and its DBMS conform to the principles of a particular database model.[2] "Database system" refers collectively to the database model, database management system, and database.[3]
Physically, database servers are dedicated computers that hold the actual databases and run only the DBMS and related software. Database servers are usually multiprocessor computers, with generous memory and RAID disk arrays used for stable storage. RAID is used for recovery of data if any of the disks fails. Hardware database accelerators, connected to one or more servers via a high-speed channel, are also used in large volume transaction processing environments. DBMSs are found at the heart of most database applications. DBMSs may be built around a custom multitasking kernel with built-in networking support, but modern DBMSs typically rely on a standard operating system to provide these functions.[citation needed] Since DBMSs comprise a significant economical market, computer and storage vendors often take into account DBMS requirements in their own development plans.[citation needed]
Databases and DBMSs can be categorized according to the database model(s) that they support (such as relational or XML), the type(s) of computer they run on (from a server cluster to a mobile phone), the query language(s) used to access the database (such as SQL or XQuery), and their internal engineering, which affects performance, scalability, resilience, and security.

Terminology and overview
Formally, the term "database" refers to the data itself and supporting data structures. Databases are created to operate large quantities of information by inputting, storing, retrieving, and managing that information. Databases are set up so that one set of software programs provides all users with access to all the data.A "database management system" (DBMS) is a suite of computer software providing the interface between users and a database or databases.

This article is concerned only with databases where the size and usage requirements necessitate use of a database management system.[1]
The interactions catered for by most existing DBMS fall into four main groups:
- Data definition. Defining new data structures for a database, removing data structures from the database, modifying the structure of existing data.
- Update. Inserting, modifying, and deleting data.
- Retrieval. Obtaining information either for end-user queries and reports or for processing by applications.
- Administration. Registering and monitoring users, enforcing data security, monitoring performance, maintaining data integrity, dealing with concurrency control, and recovering information if the system fails.

cinta kasih sayang
lilinnya berbunga sinar cahaya
madunya berbunga penawar jiwa.
Guru adalah penyu pengasih
lalu menabur bunga telur
baktinya segar mewangi
sepanjang pantal zaman.
Guru adalah lampu penyuluh
pedoman kehidupan
guru adalah pendakwah
lalu mengikut jejak Nabi Muhammad
memimpin insan
ke jalan lurus ke padang luas.
Bunga sirih bunga pirtang
terima kasih terima savang
budi bicara guru berjasa
kami sanjung tinggi.

KISAH KEJAYAAN
Lebih dikenali dengan nama Bill Gates, William Henry Gates III lahir 28 Oktober 1955 adalah seorang tokoh terhebat dalam revolusi komputer. Beliau adalah pengasas bersama Microsoft Inc, perusahaan software yang diusahakan bersama Paul Allen.
Bill Gates yang tersenarai dikalangan orang-orang terkaya di dunia dan diisytiharkan sebagai manusia terkaya di Planet bumi pada 1995 hingga 2009, meskipun pada 2008 kedudukan tersebut menurun sebagai orang ketiga terkaya selepas Warran Buffett dan Carlos Slim Helu. menurut Forbes.
Pada bulan Januari 2000, Gates mengundurkan diri sebagai eksekutif tertinggi Microsoft, untuk memberi komitmen sepenuh masa pada badan amal ‘Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’. Namun beliau masih lagi ketua arkitek software dalam Microsoft Inc.
Anak kedua dari tiga beradik ini dilahirkan dari pasangan William Henry Gates Sr., seorang peguam, dan Mary Maxwell, pegawai Interstate Bank, Pacific Northwest Bell. Gates belajar di Lakeside School, sekolah elit yang paling unggul di Seattle.
Kemampuan komputer Bill Gates sudah diakui sejak masih bersekolah di Lakeside. Bermula dengan menggodam komputer sekolah, mengubah jadual, dan penempatan pelajar.
Tahun 1968, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, dan dua hackers lain telah diupah oleh Computer Center Corp. untuk menjadi ‘penguji’ sistem keselamatan perusahaan tersebut. Sebagai balasan, mereka diberi kebebasan untuk menggunakan komputer syarikat. Menurut Bill Gates waktu itu lah mereka benar- benar dapat "memasuki" komputer.
Sejak itu, kemahiran computer Bill Gates semakin terserlah. Dan dengan mencipta program sistem pembayaran untuk Information Science Inc, merupakan bisnes pertama mereka. Kemudian bersama Paul Ellen mendirikan perusahaan pertama yang disebut Traf-O-Data.
Disinilah mereka mula mengembangkan kemampuan menuju pembentukan Microsoft.
Meskipun dilabel sebagai ‘College drop-out’, sewaktu di Harvard kerana gagal mencapai keputusan yang baik dalam pengajian undang-undang. Namun semasa belajar di Harvard, Bill Gates dan Paul Allen telah menulis program Altair BASIC untuk Altair 8800 pada pertengahan 1970. Altair merupakan komputer peribadi pertama yang berjaya.
Kejayaan tersebut menjadi inspirasi untuk Gates dan Allen mencipta Microsoft BASIC, bahasa komputer terjemahan utama untuk sistem operasi komputer MS-DOS, yang menjadi kunci pada kejayaan Microsoft.
Sejak Microsoft ditubuhkan pada tahun 1975, Bill Gates bekerja 14 jam tiap hari, dan semasa membangunkan system operasi Windows untuk pertama kalinya Bill Gates hanya tidur 8 jam dalam seminggu.
“Setiap cerita kejayaan, bermula dengan impian” itulah ungkapan Bill Gates yang paling popular, Disebalik kejayaan Bill Gates sebenarnya beliau melalui kepayahan dan keperitan, bahkan pernah dianggap sebagai orang yang kurang siuman dan menjengkelkan. Semuanya kerana ‘kegilaannya’ terhadap komputer dan teknologi.
Bertitik tolak dari semua itu, Bill Gates pernah dinobat sebagai usahawan muda terkaya di dunia, bila kekayaannya mencapai berbillion-billion dollar, dan kekayaan tersebut terus meningkat. Berdasarkan kiraan matematik, pendapatan Bill Gates ialah 300 US dollar setiap saat.
Jika dikira dalam Ringgit Malaysia, pendapatannya ialah : 1 saat = RM960 ; 1 minit = RM57,600 ; 1 jam = RM3.4 juta ; 1 hari = RM483 juta
Ketika berusia 41 tahun, Bill Gates berkahwin dengan Melinda French pada 1 Januari 1994. Mereka dikurniakan tiga orang anak, Jennifer Katharine Gates (1996), Rory John Gates (1999) and Phoebe Adele Gates (2002).
Keluarga Gates dan Melinda tinggal di rumah mereka yang didirikan diatas tanah 5 hektar dan menelan kos 53 juta dolar. Rumah yang dilengkapi dengan sistem komputer yang amat canggih dengan 7 bilik tidur utama, 24 bilik mandi dengan 10 diantaranya sangat mewah, 6 dapur, 6 tempat unggun api, perpustakaan, ruang bermain keluarga, fasiliti kesihatan yang lebih bagus daripada yang biasa terdapat di club-club serta kolam renang indoor yang dilengkapi dengan underwater music system.

plot !!!
Flint Lockwood always wanted to invent something great. Despite his creativity and zealous enthusiasm, his inventions, including spray on shoes, a remote controlled television, rat birds, hair-un-balder, and a flying car, all end in failure. Flint lives in Swallow Falls, a tiny fictional town in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, with Tim, his widowed technophobic father who misunderstands his son's talent. The town's only source of revenue is the Baby Brent Sardine cannery that has closed down, leaving the town only sardines for nourishment.
Along with the aid of his pet monkey, Steve, Flint invents a machine that transforms water into food, called the "Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator" (FLDSMDFR for short). Flint turns on the FLDSMDFR in his laboratory, but ends up short circuiting the house. He decided to power the machine by hooking it up to the nearby power plant. When he turns the machine back on it ends up rocketing through town, destroying the newly opened tourist attraction Sardine Land, and shooting up into the stratosphere. While recuperating from his failure, he meets Samantha "Sam" Sparks, a weather intern whose big break was foiled by Flint's actions. Their conversation is cut short when rainbow colored clouds float over the town and begin to rain cheeseburgers.
Realizing the potential for the FLDSMDFR, Flint creates a communication device to send orders to the machine and order it to create different types of food. Swallow Falls (now renamed Chewandswallow) becomes a "food tourism" destination and attracts many tourists. Everything is going well until the townsfolk start greedily requesting food from Flint's machine. Flint notices that the food is beginning to grow larger in size. Although he is concerned that the food is starting to "over mutate," the Mayor (now morbidly obese and having to move with a scooter) sees it as a better outcome for him and the city and guilts Flint into continuing to making food rain for the city.
Citizens and worldly tourists in Chewandswallow are blissful until suddenly a large destructive tomato-tornado formed of spaghetti and meatballs threatens the town. Flint rushes to his lab to turn the FLDSMDFR off and attempts to send a 'kill code' to stop the machine, but the Mayor throws a large radish and destroys the communication device before the code is sent. A shocked Mayor then tells Flint that he ordered a Las Vegas style all-you-can-eat buffet, before fleeing in fear. With Flint unable to control the machine, a massive food storm is created that threatens the world. However, his father encourages him to fix the mess. Flint gains self-confidence, builds a new flying car, and places the kill code in a USB flash drive. Flint, Sam, her cameraman, Manny, Steve and Brent set out to deactivate the FLDSMDFR. As they approach, they find that the machine is now the core of a giant meatball, where clouds go in the top and a food hurricane goes out the bottom which sends sentient food to attack them. In the chaos, one of the windows on the flying car breaks causing Flint to lose the kill code when the flash drive is sucked out the window.
Back at Chewandswallow, the citizens and tourists, with the help of Earl, escape. Mt. Leftovers collapses, causing an avalanche of food—a foodalanche—to destroy Chewandswallow. The foodalanche covers Flint's Lab while Tim is still attempting to send the kill code to Flint's cell phone. Tim survives the foodalanche and is able to send the kill code to Flint. Flint goes inside the meatball, finds the machine, and jams the phone into the USB port. To his frustration, Flint discovers that Tim sent him the wrong document and he is unable to stop the FLDSMDFR. Flint manages to use his Spray-On Shoes formula on the machine and causes it to explode. With the machine destroyed the food storm subsides and everyone on the meatball is able to return safely to Chewandswallow. Tim finally shows his appreciation for his son and his inventions before Flint and Sam celebrate with a kiss. Meanwhile, as a comeuppance for his actions, the obese mayor is stranded in the middle of the sea, having eaten nearly all of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich boat, while muttering that his plans were not well thought out.
During the credits, there is traditional animation of the characters which even includes a part where Mayor Shelbourne has been slendered down and arrested by Officer Devereaux.
food pyramid
Vegetables
A vegetable is a part of a plant consumed by humans that is generally savory but is not sweet. A vegetable is not considered a grain, fruit, nut, spice, or herb. For example, the stem, root, flower, etc., may be eaten as vegetables. Vegetables contain many vitamins and minerals; however, different vegetables contain different spreads, so it is important to eat a wide variety of types. For example, green vegetables typically contain vitamin A, dark orange and dark green vegetables contain vitamin C, and vegetables like broccoli and related plants contain iron and calcium. Vegetables are very low in fats and calories, but ingredients added in preparation can often add these.Fruits
In terms of food (rather than botany), fruits are the sweet-tasting seed-bearing parts of plants, or occasionally sweet parts of plants which do not bear seeds. These include apples, oranges, plums, bananas, etc. Fruits are low in calories and fat and are a source of natural sugars, fiber and vitamins. Processing fruits when canning or making into juices may add sugars and remove nutrients. The fruit food group is sometimes combined with the vegetable food group. Note that a massive number of different plant species produce seed pods which are considered fruits in botany, and there are a number of botanical fruits which are conventionally not considered fruits in cuisine because they lack the characteristic sweet taste, e.g., tomatos or avocados.Oils
The food pyramid advises that fats be consumed sparingly. Butter and oils are examples of fats. Healthy sources of fat can be found in fish, nuts, and certain fruits and vegetables, such as avocados.Dairy
Dairy products are produced from the milk of mammals, most usually but not exclusively cattle. They include milk, yogurt and cheese. Milk and its derivative products are a rich source of dietary calcium, but also provide protein, phosphorus, vitamin A, and vitamin D. However, many dairy products are high in saturated fat and cholesterol compared to vegetables, fruits and whole grains, which is why skimmed products are available as an alternative. For adults, three cups of dairy products are recommended per day.[8][9]Meat and beans
Meat is the tissue – usually muscle – of an animal consumed by humans. Since most parts of many animals are edible, there is a vast variety of meats. Meat is a major source of protein, as well as iron, zinc, and vitamin B12. Meats, poultry, and fish include beef, chicken, pork, salmon, tuna, shrimp, and eggs.The meat group is one of the major compacted food groups in the food guide pyramid. Many of the same nutrients found in meat can also be found in foods like eggs, dry beans, and nuts, such foods are typically placed in the same category as meats, as meat alternatives. These include tofu, products that resemble meat or fish but are made with soy, eggs, and cheeses. For those who do not consume meat or animal products (see Vegetarianism, veganism and Taboo food and drink), meat analogs, tofu, beans, lentils, chick peas, nuts and other high-protein vegetables are also included in this group. The food guide pyramid suggests that adults eat 2–3 servings per day. One serving of meat is 4 oz (110 g), about the size of a deck of cards.
Controversy
Many nutritional experts, like Harvard nutritionist Dr. Walter Willett, believe the 1992 pyramid does not reflect the latest research on dietetics.[10] Certain dietary choices that have been linked to heart disease, such as three cups of whole milk and an 8 oz (230 g), serving of hamburger daily, were technically permitted under the pyramid. The pyramid also lacked differentiation within the protein-rich group ("Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs, and Nuts").[11]Some of the recommended quantities for the different types of food in the old pyramid have also come under criticism for lack of clarity. For instance, the pyramid recommends two to three servings from the protein-rich group, but this is intended to be a maximum. The pyramid recommends two to four fruit servings, but this is intended to be the minimum.[12]
The fats group as a whole have been put at the tip of the pyramid, under the direction to eat as little as possible, which is largely problematic. Under the guide, one would assume to avoid fats and fatty foods, which can lead to health problems. For one, fat is essential in a person's general sustainability.[13][14][15] Research suggests that unsaturated fats aid in weight loss, reduce heart disease risk,[16] lower blood sugar, and even lower cholesterol.[17][18][19] These fats can be found in olive oil,[20][21] nuts,[22][23] pesto,[24] seafood (including fish, shrimp, squid, and krill among many more)[25][26] and avocados.[27][28] Also, they are very long sustaining, and help keep blood sugar at a steady level.[29][30] On top of that, these fats help brain function as well.[31]
Several books have recently claimed that food and agricultural associations exert undue political power on the USDA.[32][33] Food industries, such as milk companies, have been accused of influencing the United States Department of Agriculture into making the colored spots on the newly created food pyramid larger for their particular product. The milk section has been claimed to be the easiest to see out of the six sections of the pyramid, making individuals believe that more milk should be consumed on a daily basis compared to the others.[34] Furthermore, the inclusion of milk as a group unto itself implies that is an essential part of a healthy diet, despite the many people who are lactose intolerant or choose to abstain from dairy, and a number of cultures that have historically consumed little if any dairy products. Joel Fuhrman says in his book Eat to Live that U.S. taxpayers must contribute $20 billion on price supports to artificially reduce the price of cattle feed to benefit the dairy, beef and veal industries, and then pay the medical bills for an overweight population.[35] He asks if the USDA is under the influence of the food industry, because a food pyramid based on science would have vegetables at its foundation.[35]
These controversies prompted the creation of pyramids for specific audiences, particularly some Vegetarian Diet Pyramids.[36][37][38][39]
Alternatives
The Harvard School of Public Health proposes the Healthy eating pyramid, which includes calcium and multi-vitamin supplements as well as moderate amounts of alcohol, as an alternative to the Food Guide Pyramid. Many observers[who?] believe that the Harvard pyramid follows the results of nutrition studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals more closely.[citation needed] But in their book Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever, published in 2004, Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman M.D., point out that the guidelines provided in the Harvard Pyramid fail to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy oils. In addition, whole-grain foods are given more priority than vegetables, which should not be the case, as vegetables have a lower glycemic load. Other observations are that fish should be given a higher priority due to its high omega-3 content, and that high fat dairy products should be excluded. As an alternative, the authors postulate a new food pyramid, emphasising low glycemic-load vegetables, healthy fats, such as avocados, nuts and seeds, lean animal protein, fish, and extra virgin olive oil
coming soon in cinema in this december ^^
