Food Guide Pyramid
The food pyramid consists of six basic food groups: grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy, protein, and fats/oils.
The food guide pyramid was first established in 1974 by Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare due to the rise of food cost. It was formulated to educate people on inexpensive and nutritional basic foods plus supplemental foods for any missing nutrition. In 1992, the United States Department of Agriculture created it's own version of the food pyramid based on the daily recommendation of each food group. The food pyramid is divided into six section: carbohydrates, vegetables, fruits, dairy, oil, meats and beans. Revised in 2005, the USDA replaced the pyramid in June 2011 with the "My Plate" program.
