They stopped using the pyramid a longtime ago, but yeah this one isn’t bad:

As a pile of (mostly) healthy food it’s fine. But as an infographic it completely sucks.
EDIT: It’s interesting they would have frozen peas at the top (mostly empty starch) but whole grains at the bottom (assuming the bottom means “sparingly”). Also red meat and butter should not be a large part of anyone’s daily calories.



















I was taught they are starchy but that was grade school days and I won’t die on this hill. I certainly didn’t mean to imply peas were unhealthy. What I found odd is that they are on opposite ends of the pyramid from “whole grains” which is a carb I would personally say is on about the same level as peas overall.
