The Department of Agriculture’s promotional posters used to list milk as the first group and meat as the second. Grains got a group, and fruits and vegetables had to share a group. Because livestock products were assigned two of the four groups, menus developed under this plan were often loaded with fat and cholesterol. That is how an entire generation learned to eat, and how they, in turn, raised their children.
