alt Hacker NewsFor Millennials in the US, it might be very useful. We grew up with this food pyramid being pushed at us all the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_pyramid_%28nutrition%29?u...
That's a lot of carbs. Only like 3 years ago did I learn they changed it around 20 years ago to be less carb-centric.

It's super weird I saw this food pyramid in a school book in Hungary (where I live) a couple years ago, and I was wtf?
I'm Italian we eat a ton of carbs, but the pyramid I was shown as a kid decades ago had vegetables at the bottom

No one in the US follows the food pyramid.
Go see what people are eating in real life. There are a lot of studies.
Americans eat way more meat, almost no fruits and vegetables, and a lot of carbs.
The point is that the food pyramid has absolutely no impact and pointing to it and making correlations with it is like doing astrology to explain why you broke your hand while playing basketball the other day.
Edit: you do a great job to illustrate how little anyone knows about these food guidelines.
It took you 17 years to even learn they’ve changed.
