On today’s episode of the podcast, we discuss the NEW food pyramid. The US Department of Food Services and the USDA just released a new food pyramid as a dietary guideline. We give a brief history of the food pyramid as a visual dietary guide, what we appreciate about the updated version, and which recommendations may be unsound, or even potentially harmful, for the general population.
