00:00I'm going to teach you about the food pyramid today.
00:02Two things I love.
00:04Food and pyramids.
00:06Are you a pyramids guy?
00:07Well, I'm Egyptian, so yeah.
00:08Look at that.
00:09Naturally, yes.
00:10We are combining two of your favorite things.
00:12Yes.
00:13So what do you know about the food pyramid?
00:15Nothing. Zero.
00:16Top of the pyramid.
00:17This is sugar.
00:20How are you going to fit all the words in there?
00:21Fat.
00:22I'll figure that out.
00:23Just relax.
00:23No, no. How are you going to fit?
00:25It can't be that small.
00:26Like, there has to be layers to it.
00:31That's not the whole pyramid, you moron.
00:34That's the top tier.
00:36I'm going to draw down from here.
00:38Oh.
00:39I mean, to be fair, that is a pyramid at the top.
00:42It's a triangle.
00:43I thought you were doing your whole pyramid that small.
00:46No, of course I'm not going to do it that small.
00:48All right. All right.
00:49Continue.
00:50That's such a Zoolander comment.
00:52What is this?
00:52This is a center for ants, sugar, fat, oils.
00:57Recommendation?
00:59Sparingly.
00:59So that's our dessert tier.
01:01Do you have a sweet tooth?
01:02Um, yeah.
01:05Around 9 p.m. I usually have some sort of ice cream, cereal, Italian ice.
01:11Sometimes like a milkshake.
01:13Wow.
01:14Typically six out of seven days a week.
01:18I have the same craving for sugar after a meal that a lot of people do for cigarettes.
01:22Yeah.
01:22A lot of people have to have a smoke after a meal.
01:25I wish I was ripping cigs instead of custard.
01:28All right, next tier down, right?
01:30You're going to run out of room on the sides there.
01:32Don't you worry about that.
01:33This is milk, dairy products, okay?
01:36Yeah.
01:36This is where, though, we start to get into some of the controversy, right?
01:40Because a lot of people in this country are lactose intolerant.
01:43Yeah.
01:43And so for there to be this universal food prescription of how you're supposed to eat
01:47and what servings you should have right off the bat with milk and dairy being its own tier.
01:52You're kind of fucking the whole group of people.
01:54Doesn't really apply to a lot of people.
01:56They say two to three servings, okay?
01:59One yogurt, that might be more than a serving.
02:02Or maybe that's one serving.
02:03And then you have a cheese stick right there.
02:05You've cooked your dairy intake.
02:07I'm fucked then because I have at least four cheese sticks when I open the pack.
02:11Are you for real?
02:12They're so good. I love cheese.
02:14The string cheese?
02:15I could just sit and eat cheese for like every meal I would.
02:19This is proteins.
02:22That's your chickens, your turkeys, fish, eggs, and nuts.
02:27I think it's two to three servings here as well.
02:29How's your protein intake?
02:31A lot of chicken.
02:32Fried?
02:33If I can get grilled, I'll get grilled.
02:36But you know, every now and then you gotta get some fucking tenders in you.
02:39Do you?
02:40You know what I've been eating lately?
02:41What?
02:42Now that I'm in my jack stage.
02:44Ground turkey and ground beef mixed together.
02:48Toss some fucking cheese on that bitch with some hot sauce.
02:50The thing you gotta worry about with the cheese is the milk fat.
02:53I've never worried about my milk fat once in my entire life.
02:56Well, if you're finishing six out of seven nights of the week with a milkshake,
03:02you might want to worry about your milk fat.
03:04Yeah, but you know, it tastes good.
03:08All right, this is where things start to get a little weird.
03:10I'm not gonna lie.
03:10Here we have vegetables and here we have fruit.
03:16That's what we call one of my friends because he had big balls.
03:19Fruits?
03:19Yeah, we call them fruits.
03:21That's funny.
03:21Grapefruits, yeah.
03:22That is funny.
03:22He's got huge balls.
03:23Yeah, some of them called me Mike back in college from micropenis.
03:28You've all determined each other's nicknames based on your...
03:31Our penises.
03:32Genitalia.
03:33Yeah.
03:34I don't really necessarily believe in this.
03:36I think that, you know, you could eat as many vegetables as you want and you'd be fine.
03:41This is where you get into the controversy with vegetarians being offended.
03:46How can you limit my vegetables?
03:49That's all I eat.
03:50If you take off the fruit, there's a fruititarian that would probably be offended.
03:53And nobody feels bad for the fruititarians.
03:56Yeah, dude.
03:57Except if someone was a cheese head like you and you took the cheese off, then you'd say,
04:03how dare you?
04:04I'd be pissed.
04:05Don't take the cheese off.
04:06I eat four cheese sticks at a go.
04:08I'd be pissed.
04:09Now, here's where the big controversy is.
04:12You ready for this?
04:12I'm ready.
04:13What do you think's left?
04:14Like wheat or oats or carbs.
04:16That's exactly right.
04:17This is grains, rice, bread.
04:23Yeah, baby.
04:24Pasta, cereal.
04:26Yeah.
04:27Yeah.
04:27Yeah.
04:28This is my kingdom.
04:29Guess how many servings of this they initially said that we're supposed to have?
04:34Seven to eight.
04:36Six to eleven servings.
04:38I'm doing pretty damn well.
04:40Yeah, I'm doing good.
04:41I got Domino's cheesy bread.
04:43I'm set.
04:43What we have now come to learn is that this one needs to be a lot bigger.
04:49Throw that bitch on the bottom.
04:50You should probably increase veggies more.
04:52Maybe limit your milk fat a little bit more.
04:55But let's be honest, it's the best type of stuff.
04:58In 2005, they did a rebrand with something that looked a little more like this.
05:05And then there was a guy climbing up these stairs to emphasize that there should be exercise happening.
05:13So it had grains, vegetables, fruit, milk, meat, and beans.
05:18But that was in 2005.
05:19And then in 2011, they just redrew it as a plate that had four categories.
05:25Come on, man.
05:26We're turning our fucking triangles into circles?
05:29Fruits, grains, protein, veg, okay?
05:34And then out here as a little side thought was dairy.
05:38There.
05:38That they wanted us to divide it into.
05:40Look at this, it says veg.
05:41Yeah.
05:44This is the evolution of the food pyramid.
05:47It's not bad.
05:48That's not bad, you know?
05:50Your joke?
05:51No, it's not a joke, I'm saying.
05:52Let me ask you something.
05:53You didn't have that stain when we started.
05:55No, I spilled it.
05:56Okay, I thought it was drool.
05:57I'm saying...
05:59Just thinking about the food pyramid.
06:02But isn't it crazy to think that that was not too long ago
06:05that they came out and said that that was how we should eat?
06:07I like that one a lot.
06:09That's probably closer to how you eat.
06:10I haven't had a veggie in a couple days, but...
06:12You haven't had a vegetable in a couple days?
06:15What, do I have to?
06:16I mean...
06:17Anything green or nothing?
06:20Well, over the weekend, I was doing a lot of drinking and eating pizza and stuff, so...
06:26A lot of gold and yellow and khaki.
06:30Does pepperoni count as a vegetable?
06:33No, that's, I guess, a protein, but a highly processed one.
06:37I had a pepper on the side.
06:40I had a calzone.
06:42No.
06:44I had an Elios pizza.
06:47We're really sort of staying on brand here.
06:49I had Dunkin' Donuts breakfast sandwich.
06:52I get, no, yeah, I didn't have a green all weekend, fuck.
06:56No green.
06:56Yeah, yesterday I had spaghetti and meatballs.
06:59No vegetable.
07:00A turkey sandwich.
07:02No green on that.
07:03So that's going on four days.
07:05You strike me as someone who's going to develop a disease like scurvy.
07:08What?
07:09Do I have to be on a ship for that?
07:11No, you just need to not have access to any sort of vitamins.
07:14That's, wow, that kind of puts things in perspective.
07:17Mm-hmm.
07:18I haven't had a vegetable in multiple days.
07:20I haven't had a vegetable in multiple days.
07:22Yeah.
07:22Maybe five days.
07:26What is a diet that you think you could get to realistically?
07:30I like vegetables.
07:31I just don't really have them readily available when I like, as much as I would like to.
07:35Why is that?
07:36I don't, I don't buy them.
07:38Why don't you buy them?
07:39Because I don't want them.
07:40Why don't you want them?
07:41I mean, because I'd rather have beef.
07:46You'd rather have beef than a carrot.
07:49I like vegetables.
07:51I just don't go out of my way to get them.
07:53How do they find your way to you?
07:54They have to be, just miraculously appear?
07:56If somebody is like, hey, let's go make these for dinner tonight.
08:00So you wouldn't order a vegetable at a restaurant?
08:03I'd eat, maybe.
08:05I'd have some peas.
08:06You never think, oh, I'm doing this and that, and let's get a side of broccoli rabe or broccolini
08:12or something like that?
08:13Yeah, but if the menu says cheesy potatoes, I'm getting that.
08:18Yeah.
08:19But what about if they have a side of Brussels sprouts?
08:21I'll eat the sprouts.
08:22Fruits and vegetables need to be on a plate in front of you where you don't even know
08:27how they got there.
08:28If I'm out at a cookout getting fucked up with my boys and there's a plate of watermelon,
08:33I'm eating it.
08:34Good.
08:34Yeah.
08:35You should think about doing that more.
08:37All right, that's the food pyramid, Dana.
08:38Love it.
08:39Thank you, Franny.
