It's probably worth mentioning that these new food pyramids were not produced by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), but rather the USDA (US Dept of Agriculture). So they should, at the risk of punning, be taken with a grain of salt. The USDA's committment is to Agriculture, not the individual, so their views are a bit biased.

Also, I hate the new design... the stacked pyramid communicated the relative amounts of each section more clearly. This new design is like a retarded 1/4 pie chart.
