Great challenge over at Flowingdata looking at how to visualize food subsidies vs. the USDA food pyramid.

Note that the vegetables dot is not drawn to scale — I couldn’t find the orginal _pixel_, so I put in a green circle just so it would show up on the graphic.
The original image is at The Consumerist.
