The first food group listed is literally meat and dairy. The ordering here is purposeful, too, as they admit. One promo graphic includes a block of butter and a carton explicitly labelled "whole milk." This is a very definite downgrade.

Butter is king. It should be pictured with a crown, stars and glitter.

Surely whole milk is better than less-than-whole milk?

Why is that a downgrade?

"The first food group listed is literally meat and dairy."

that's because the pyramid is presented pointy end down.

You're literally just lying.

The first thing shown on the website is - broccoli.

The top of the pyramid includes both protein (meat, cheese) as well as fruits & vegetables.

The reason that meat is shown first is probably that it's the bigger change (it's been demonized in previous versions), whereas vegetables were always prominent.
