The current food pyramid
The food guide pyramid was the previous nutritional guide (created at Tufts University School of Medicine) of the USDA, replaced in April 2005 by the new USDA nutrition advisory program titled "MyPyramid".[1]
The food guide pyramid, informally known as the food pyramid, and formally titled the Improved American Food Guide Pyramid, was published in 1992 to replace the earlier food groups classification system. The food guide pyramid suggested optimal nutrition guidelines for each food category, per day, using a mnemonic graphic of a pyramid with horizontal dividing lines, to represent suggested percentages of the daily diet for each food group.
