I can't wait for the new AASHTO food pyramid. As much as I would like to see the CEOs of Coke, Krispy Kreme, and McDonald's taking potshots at each other over who is more to blame for the country's obesity crisis, I just don't think that is going to happen. And I also don't think I just read a letter on the WSJ's Opinion page from the newest champion of bike-ped. What bike-ped does need to do is to start calling these food and beverage companies on their bluff: ask the to support complete streets, safe routes to school, fair share for safety, bicycle friendly workplaces, etc. The sugar and fat pimps are now telling us to exercise?
