Government dietary guidelines

 Every five years our federal government releases new dietary guidelines we are to follow as good citizens. Does this mean that all the guidelines of the past were wrong?

I would bet less then five percent of the people pay any attention to these anyway or our population would not continue to get fatter, as have I. 
 People know what is not good for them as it is. This is just another government program to employ more in patronage jobs. If they are serious about these guidelines stop allowing all the foods that are "bad for you" to be purchased with government aid such as LINK. Kind of like saying cigarettes will kill you but subsidizing tobacco growers, isn't it?
Just a Thursday rant.
