What's the "per x" on those federally recommended 26 servings?

The white sections compare "Sugar, Oil, Starch, Alcohol" to "Sugar, Oil, Salt" - not really like for like. Does the US government really think we don't need fibre anymore?

I am quite prepared to believe there is a lot of truth behind that second image but there's definitely some disingenuity (disingenuousness?) in the presentation.

Good point, I got that bit wrong. Everything else stands.

I agree with the rest of it. Not to the point of dismissing the information, but whenever one sees something that's trying to say "X is worse than Y" yet they give two different stats or sources, it's prudent to be skeptical.
