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.
