The food pyramid is a nutritional guide made by the United States Department of Agriculture that suggests just how much of a particular kind of food you should take in a day for you to remain healthy. However, the food pyramid received a lot of criticism like not being able to differentiate between whole grains and refined grains, between unsaturated fats and saturated fasts, as well as not emphasizing enough on weight control and exercise. This prompted the Harvard School of Public Health to develop the healthy eating pyramid. The healthy eating pyramid is just like the old food pyramid in that it also suggests how much of a particular food you should take in a day but it intends to provide a better guide compared to the old food pyramid. The old food pyramid also came under fire because it was not created by the Department of Health and Human Services but by the Department of Agriculture, alleged to have been influenced by the meat, dairy, and agriculture industries.
