New "Smart Choices" foods list dangerous?

This link is to a story in Tuesday's Sarasota Herald Tribune about a new list that came out from a federal commission.  It lists foods that are supposed to be "smart choices" for safe and nutritious eating.  But it turns out that a lot of junky foods are on the list (e.g., Froot Loops and Magical Cheese Stuffed Crust Cheeze Pizzas) and there's suspicion that the big food companies got to the committee that made up the list.  Recent films (King Corn, Food Inc., Super Size Me) have warned about how bad most of the food we are served and sold is and have exposed the influence of a handful of large food companies.  Is this another example of their power?
