The new Food Pyramid

[Mike Nolan]

There's a new edition of the Food Pyramid and it is close to a total inversion of the one I remember from high school.

Meats, proteins and healthy fats (yes, including butter!) are back on top, and grains are at the bottom.

The new pyramid probably doesn't go as far as it should in resuscitating the reputation of butter and other 'healthy-again' fats, but it's a definite improvement over the last 30 or so years of recommendations.

A low carb diet is recommended, but it doesn't quite endorse the keto plan.

This page is kind of busy, but eventually you can get to the food pyramid on it:

I plan to ignore the new food pyramid.

I haven't looked at food pyramids for a decade or so, but went to the internet to see the new one. I plan to ignore this one completely. Its seems to imply that you should eat as much or more meat than whole grains. I don't think it even tries to graph how much of each food group should make up a balanced diet. I like the "My Plate" illustration better. Has a new version of this been released?

I'm not sure, when I search for that, it seems to send me to another site and that one has a certificate issue.
