A New Level of the
Food Pyramid
Shocking
as it may be, a previously hidden level of the food pyramid has been
discovered. Why this level
has, up until now, been hidden is not as yet clear.
What does this ‘consume most of’ level prescribe?
Tea. Yes, this startling new discovery recommends the consumption of tea
in greater quantities than any other food or beverage.
Prior to this discovery people had believed that fruits and vegetables
were the ‘consume most of’ category.
This new discovery has thrown foodists into a quandary. However,
to members of the community who have, for some time, recommended mass
consumption of tea, the new discovery comes as no surprise.
Such people have long maintained that tea is both a refreshment and
a food group, and claim that a person can survive on tea alone.
Some of these people have even gone so far as to forego food for
five to seven days subsisting solely on tea, and water, to demonstrate
the sustainability of tea.
Tea, they claim, refreshes mind and body.
Does it keep them awake at night when consumed in excessive
quantities? They say no,
and go so far as to state the only thing that keeps people awake at
night is ‘worry’, and they further claim that tea helps them to
relax and hence tea-drinkers do not ‘worry’ about life problems as
much as non-tea-drinkers.
Startling revelations? Not to the tea drinkers.
The food pyramid has always been studied in accordance with proteins,
carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, fats and sugars, but the discovery of
this new level has prompted an entirely new look at the pyramid. The new
discussion is from the perspective of mood and emotional effects caused
by food. The time when nourishment of the physical body was all that was
important, is over. As
humanity has evolved, on a spiritual level, people have begun to notice
the effects of food upon their physical and emotional well-being.
Perhaps that is why the hidden base level of the pyramid has now
been discovered.
On a physical level tea does not contribute as do traditional food
pyramid items, but the fact of its emotional and mood enhancing effects
can be neither ignored nor denied.
In tense or emotionally trying times a cup of tea has been well
known to have a calming effect. This
may be the reason why it is rumoured that , when the British arrived in
Gallipoli they had a cuppa of tea before going into battle.
Tea. Seven servings a day, or more.
