A short clip from The Office US in which Michael Scott gets drawn into an email scam promising riches from the son of a deposed Nigerian king. It plays on pyramid schemes and gullibility.

Used as a joke reference whenever crypto, Worldcoin or AI hype seems like a scheme out of a sitcom.

But the new pyramid is pretty similar to the old pyramid. From the page: Grains: Target: 2–4 servings per day. Vegetables: 3 servings per day. Fruits: 2 servings per day. The old pyramid ( link ) recommends 3-5 veg (same/more), 2-4 fruit (same/more), more grains, and is still relatively protein heavy (4-6 between meat and dairy). It's basically a scene from The Office. ▶ this video
