The Food Guide Pyramid
The Food Guide Pyramid is a dietary guideline in the shape of a pyramid. It is meant to promote healthy eating patterns and list recommended foods in an easy to understand hierarchical triangle shape; the food we should eat the most of is at the bottom and the food we should eat in moderation is at the top. You can find here an analysis of the different dietary guides from around the world and the latest studies on food.
In 2011, the USDA (Department of Agriculture) published a new guide called My Plate. Here is what it looks like.
Each country has a different food guide, often based on both
research and the agricultural industries’ demands. Food is also a
cultural thing so different cultures will have different food guide
pyramids.
When you look at all the different food guidelines and diets, it is

and only recommend what is proven by independent sources to be the best
