I've taken one course in nutrition and I could throw this shit together in ten minutes. Red meat bad, fish good. Butter bad, skim milk good. Get some exercise.
And would mine have equaled the real thing? I dont know if I would have thought of gems like "positioning...daily exercise and weight control at the base of the pyramid in order to emphasize its importance".
In conclusion, the food pyramid is useless. Thanks for your time.
