    The original food pyramid was designed when starvation was a major concern, and so makes sense in that context.

    The “my plate” was a fair adjustment that refocused on quality of food in a world of plenty.

    I have no idea what a “upside down pyramid” is supposed to be.

      The food plate can still suck my theoretical dick. It includes an entire portion for something 70% of the world can’t digest.

        It wasn’t designed for the entire world? What % of Americans can process dairy? 95+%?

      The food pyramid was adopted in the US in 1992.

        I remember being taught about a food pyramid in a US health class at least a decade before.

          Maybe your school had a time machine that took forward ten years to when it was adopted?

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_USDA_nutrition_guidelines

          Or maybe you were in a Swedish immersion school that taught the original Swedish version?

            It must have been the basic food groups then, and at some point my memory of it merged with the food pyramid once it hit the US.

      The goal is to continue the ideological push towards overconsumption of animal products.

      Its healthier more natural foods, meat, vegetables

      Less focus on grains, rice, pasta etc

      RFK is annidiot in a ton of ways

        No he isn’t… Why is meat more natural than rice? Also, grains and rice are literally parts of vegetables

          It isnt more natural than rice.

          But is more nutrient dense. And it is much more natural than pringles and rape seed oil.

          And contains a lot more essential nutrients

            Rapeseed oil and rice are effectively identical in terms of like, how much they are shaped and processed by human hands. Or say, oats, barely. Why are those good but canola seeds aren’t?

        Yeah I’m not taking health advise from someone who is basically a walking naturalist fallacy. Arsenic is just as natural as fish if not moreso, doesn’t mean we should be huffing it like ancient bronzesmiths.

          Indeed

          You dont eat the grain straight off the plant

          And pasta is basically just that processed grain with water added?

          Try looking up processed foods

          Refined flour acts exactly like sugar inside the body. It all turns into glucagon.
