I think the food guide pyramid is one of the dumbest things to ever be widely perpetuated - October 4th 2025, 11:07 PM

Grain is located at the bottom: you should eat a lot of that. Fat is coupled with sweets and is at the top to only eat sparingly. Some people eat a ketogenic diet and literally almost only eat fat and protein. There is even medical keto which is more stringent and has almost all fat and protein and next to no carbs. A big side effect of the diet is weight loss, not weight gain. Eating fat doesnt make you gain weight necessarily. It is the number of calories and carbs are possibly better at causing weight gain. A lot of modern bread has sugar added as is basically cake. The least healthy part of a mcdonalds meal is the fries and soda, which have the most carbs. Some people believe the food guide pyramid was intended to benefit the food industry (which makes a lot of profit from grains and bread) and not the health of the people.
