Did you know that the old "food pyramid" was replaced by something called "my plate"? It's much easier to understand and goes a long way towards improving on the flaws of the food pyramid. Unfortunately, "my plate" still has a variety of errors. Lobbying efforts by large corporations greatly influence the final product. In other words, its bad for business when you product is not included on the chart and many corporations will spend a lot of money to make sure their products are represented within at least one of the categories.
Thankfully, the attached "superfood plate" corrects a lot of the misinformation. This a a fantastic starting point and shows us what "my plate" would look like without the lobby efforts!
