Well, the old food pyramid hasn't been used in almost 20 years now.

> hasn't been used

What has it been replaced with? I try to keep up with health literature and am not familiar with the food pyramid's replacement. Perhaps it hasn't received as much advertisement as the food pyramid did.

The USDA Food Pyramid was replaced in 2005 with MyPyramid. http://web.archive.org/web/20050830024356/http://mypyramid.g...

In 2011, the pyramid was done away with altogether and replaced with MyPlate, which remains the USDA's current nutritional guide graphic. https://www.myplate.gov/

The food pyramid and its replacements come from the USDA. They're there to sell farm products. And maybe help with nutrition for farm workers.
