New US Food Pyramid Recommends More Protein And Less Whole Grain
A new food pyramid diagram has been introduced by the U.S. government along with additional dietary guidelines. Here are the key changes and what experts think.
RFK Jr. and the USDA announced a whole new food pyramid, but how has it changed over the years, and does it include no sugars? Here's what to know.
The new food pyramid, however, places vegetables, proteins, dairy and healthy fats like olive oil at the top, suggesting they should hold equal importance. Fruits and nuts are slightly lower on the pyramid, and whole grains are at the very bottom.
The changes receive mixed reviews from experts, in particular over concerns some could lead to people eating more saturated fats.
