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 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_pyramid_(nutrition)#/media/File:USDA_Food_Pyramid.gif https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_pyramid_(nutrition)#/medi...) 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC5lsemxaJo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC5lsemxaJo
- saalaa 9mo agoTo me, the actual food pyramid picture from that campaign conveys the wrong idea, to the point that it's in fact detrimental.
- ceejayoz 9mo agoYes; that's why the Obama administration changed it in 2011 to be a plate instead of a pyramid. https://letsmove.obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/letsmove.gov/files/MyPlateCommunityToolkit.pdf https://letsmove.obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/sites/letsmove... https://www.myplate.gov/eat-healthy/what-is-myplate https://www.myplate.gov/eat-healthy/what-is-myplate (To much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Right at the time; https://www.heritage.org/education/commentary/michelle-obama-shouldnt-decide-what-your-child-eats https://www.heritage.org/education/commentary/michelle-obama...)
