    The original food pyramid was designed when starvation was a major concern, and so makes sense in that context.

    The “my plate” was a fair adjustment that refocused on quality of food in a world of plenty.

    I have no idea what a “upside down pyramid” is supposed to be.

    The site’s echoes language echoes that of Kennedy’s rhetoric, saying the update ends “the war on protein.”

    LOL, talking about a “war on protein” as if that’s a thing is like idiot cons talking about a “war on xmas”. 🤣

    If anything, marketing and the culture is pushing wayyyyy too much protein at every turn.
