The food pyramid is a graphical representation of what the organization that created it believes are the right proportions of different food groups people should consume. Typically, the foods shown near the apex should be consumed sparingly, the foods shown near the base should be staples at every meal, and the foods in the middle should be consumed in moderation.

Different governments and different health-related organizations may have different food pyramids. The graphics may also evolve over time as nutritional research progresses. In the U.S., the original USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) food pyramid was introduced in 1992. It was replaced with MyPyramid in 2005, and with MyPlate in 2011. MyPlate no longer has the shape of a pyramid. Rather, it's shaped like a...plate, which makes it more user friendly as people don't have to "translate" one shape into another. Its function is still the same - it shows the proportions in which various food groups should take up room on your plate.
