I never understood the food pyramid and why its still taught to kids. Just looking at it where it has pasta, bread, and white rice on the bottom.

I've seen updated versions. It's just a sucky model overall, hence why it's been dropped.

Responsible for nearly all of the obesity issues we see in USA today. Add on the farm subsidies and you can get a complete picture of the poor healthcare we see all over the country.

Ehhhhhh



While I don't think it's the healthiest model, adherence to the official food guide is actually very low. It's hard to blame it when people aren't following it.

It has been updated. It was updated in 2005 to the MyPyramid and then replaced in 2011 with the MyPlate.
