The literal food pyramid that’s printed god knows where and that is recommended in many countries due to US recommendations.
Have you been to the site OP linked?

The pyramid references in the link is from 1992, it even says so on the page. I think that going to war against the recommendations from 1992 feels a bit...dishonest?

How do we marry that "dishonesty" with the fact that the previous food pyramid was the dietary guidelines officially endorsed by the US government, represented in posters and taught in primary school classrooms?
Because there have been different FDA food pyramids since then. The one people popularized hasn't been the recommendation for decades
The 90s food pyramid lasted until 2005, so decades is just about correct. Then it was some myolate something or the other.
But people used the 90s food pyramid everywhere and that was the only one popularly known. The myplate stuff, I guess it wasn’t advertised well by the government, who knows.
There are differences: the previous guidelines are very down on saturated fat, for example. But I feel like a lot of people are imagining that this is replacing the old food pyramid with the huge grain section at the bottom bigger than everything else, when that's been gone for over a decade.
Realistically I don't think these guidelines really have much effect at all, except maybe things like school lunch programs that may be downstream of them.
