Even though many of us may not be extremely happy with our government's choices right now, there are still a lot of things that our government does for us.

If you remember your elementary school days, you will vaguely remember the food pyramid that got mentioned every once in a while. Well, the USDA has revamped that pyramid and personalized it a bit.
