Well done!

Major in publishing 4 years and got to work in it to.

Turns out the stuff they taught us about the food pyramid and physical fitness had some merit!

I worked at a nutrition company when that stupid ass food pyramid garbage came out. The FDA contacted our company to find out how to quantify that stupidity because it made no sense. They actually started referring inquiries from the industry as to how to quantify it to our top person… who I later married.

That was letterpress. When I was little I would help break down the galleys and send the type into the pot to be melted down

Yes, I worked 2 Heidelberg presses at the same time

Fantastic! The industry is a shadow of what it once was.

Were you drinking Heidelbergs at the same time? Those cute little shorty bottles?

 

[Deadbed1968]

Yes, I worked 2 Heidelberg presses at the same time

I used to love just watching the presses running. It was so amazing how they worked. I also got to meet one of the authors of the “Pocket Pal” printing guide from International Paper

I would love to get my hands on some as a collectible.

Look in antique stores, I see stuff I used to work all the time there.

Why garbage?

Not really. Glacier came through and left all sorts of hills, knolls, valleys and kettles

Which is part of what makes Wisconsin so beautiful!
Land of my fore fathers and fore mothers

Why garbage?

Because it cannot be quantified. It isn’t based on proper math - even though nutrition is very mathematical. For a given weight of any food, it will have a set amount of properties. The pyramid is this vague “serving” thing not based on actual amounts. They probably have redefined it over the past 30 years, I don’t know. But it‘s initial definition pissed off the entire industry because it was totally useless.

Night all!

Thank you.
