Hasn’t the food pyramid been around a LOT longer than that? And while the US is in an obesity epidemic to be sure, many foods in the pyramid are not being consumed at all by those who are the most obese. I think sodas, sugar & portion sizes and inactivity are the primary culprits

Just don't eat processed and GMOs foods. They're lacking necessary nutrients because it's been stripped away.

It's the same pyramid as the Agriculture Department uses for fattening cattle, just upside down.

The food pyramid doesn't advocate eating loads of processed foods and there's nothing wrong with carbs per se. I think the main reason for the increase in obesity in the West is the abundance and availability of high calorie food and people's reliance on it rather than cooking.
