71. There has been no change in the USDA food pyramid

-10 servings a day of vegetables, especially dark green vegetables and orange vegetables.
2-4 servings of fruit a day are required, especially fresh and frozen fruits.
2-3 servings of meat, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, or nuts a day, especially dry bean and peas, eggs, and nut and seeds.
2-3 servings of milk, cheese, yogurt or milk substitutes a day.
Occasional use of fats, oils, and sweets, especially oils.
6-11 servings of grains a day, especially whole grains.


it replaced the bogus "4 Food Groups" and it has not changed since its introduction in 1992.

But it differs greatly from Harvard's pyramid (which I think you may like):

The rise in Sydrome X/Diabetes and obesity correlate with a rise in caloric intake.
