New HHS food pyramid just dopped and it's a massive improvement.
Features abundant fruits near the top, raw carrots, cheese, milk, butter, shrimp, beef, and eggs.

Slowly then suddenly
I still can’t believe the abhorrent lie they told us for decades with the original pyramid (and even new “improvements” like red meat is bad, saturated fats are bad. Even my Dr wife thinks lots of red meat can give you cancer…. (She’s improving, not ge fault) It’s honestly sick
Not her fault?
If I were to offer a critique, temporarily ignoring how much of an improvement this is, it would be:
1. Farmed salmon is probably one of the most toxic foods in the grocery store. Wild caught is good but still high PUFA which is counter indicated in hot, high sun areas. Potentially beneficial in cold, low sun areas. Wild salmon roe has a much better cost/benefit AFAICT.
2. Chicken, pigs, and other monogastric livestock are extremely inflammatory in their modern forms. O6 dominance through the roof. Nourish Food Club is experimenting with revitalizing these foods to their healthier, ancestral roots, but the project is nascent and nobody else seems to care. Ancestral monogastric "livestock" are leaner, take longer to mature, are naturally low PUFA, and are healthy in moderation.
3. Vegetables have to be consumed intentionally and just spamming them because they are "healthy" will backfire. Carrots: raw. Mushrooms: well cooked. Many things should be soaked. Many things should be fermented. Vegetables are also being sprayed with all sorts of modern chemical preservatives and the organic classification is no longer protecting consumers or offering any real transparency.
4. Tinned food should be shunned for glass jarred food and the entire supply change should adapt to standard jar sizes. The pyramid should never show tins which leach all sorts of plastic and heavy metals into food.
5. Diary should specify only A2 strains, cutting off modern industrial A1, and preferring raw or at least low temp vat pasteurized.
6. There is no mention at all of regenerative products which are not only healthier but ensure they'll be around for future generations.
7. Grains need as much of a revitalization as our chicken and pigs. America had destroyed our wheat products. We need to recover them so that people can enjoy their heritage again. Bread is perfectly healthy.
8. Missed opportunity not to use the white space on the side to illustrate which foods should go in the trash: like processed foods with seed oils, HFCS, etc...

Crazy to think how long bread, cereals and pasta were the base of it!
Bread and pasta in their traditional forms could be much higher, next to potatos.
Unfortunately these foods have been adulterated beyond recognition and reviving them is not likely in the present moment.
Cereals beyond rolled oats should have never been a thing.
Red meat, animal foods, saturated fat - these are not to be feared. So stoked to see the guidelines reflecting this!

Big improvement overall, but I agree: context matters more than pyramids.
Quality, sourcing, and how food is prepared make all the difference.
Thanks for sharing. This is very good!
34 years of recommending 11 servings of grains per day wasn’t too harmful for obesity and countless other diseases, right??? /s
Just baked a sourdough ☺️
But yes, this sort of diet definitely seems more life-affirming than what the depopulation agenda has been trying to shove down our throats thus far
So it's a picture of all the foods Americans don't eat/can't afford to eat lol
They're just rubbing it in your face at this point
