There's a Better Way to Write Food Guidelines

In 1946, George Orwell wrote an essay that's worth revisiting frequently, in which he describes how convoluted language can be used to intentionally confuse people and obfuscate the truth. "A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow," he wrote, "blurring the outline and covering up all the details."

I thought of Orwell's essay on obfuscation when I saw the latest food guide published today.
