New food pyramid offers renewed nutrition suggestions

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements

After quite a long while with an outdated USDA Food Pyramid guide, the USDA has unveiled a new Food Pyramid that changes things quite a bit. For example, I never understood why dairy and meat had so much emphasis on the old pyramid (way too much) -- and why fresh fruits and vegetables were not at the "foundation".

Anyway, the new Food Pyramid has vertical bands that represent food groups and the serving suggestions per day as well we multiple areas where physical activity is encouraged (that is awesome), Maybe in 2020 we'll get another version, eh?
