The new food pyramid isn’t progress…it’s confusion with better graphics.
Americans barely understood the old pyramid.
Most never even knew MyPlate existed, and that’s not the public’s fault. That’s a leadership failure.
Now we’ve got a redesigned pyramid that:
• Emphasizes high protein and fats (which sounds good on paper)
• Assumes people can afford and access clean food
• Pretends “real food” still means what it used to
Well, here’s the uncomfortable truth:
Most “real food” in America is still soaked in chemicals, preservatives, dyes, seed oils, and additives the average person doesn’t need let alone even know how to pronounce.
So are we truly asking people to:
Eat more protein from broken food systems;
eat healthy fats cooked in industrial oils;
and trust a graphic while ignoring the ingredient label?
Actually, let’s be honest…replacing MyPlate was pointless.
They didn’t educate the public.
They didn’t enforce standards.
And they didn’t fix the root problem.
If the government actually cared about health, they wouldn’t redesign charts.
They’d regulate manufacturers.
They’d remove BS from food.
They’d protect consumers instead of food corporations.
Until then, stop blaming people for struggling in a broken system.
