If you are referring to the one used in schools and promoted by the government, that would be USDA or the United States Department of Agriculture. In 1956 they started promoting the so called four food groups: meat, dairy, grains/cereals and fruits/vegetables with the emphasis on meat and dairy. This was financed by the meat and dairy industries and backed by scientists on their payroll. It was taught intensively throughout the US in schools and advocated a diet loaded with animal protein, fat and cholesterol.
In 1992 it was revised to the Food Pyramid, in 2005 it was replaced by MyPyramid and in 2011 by MyPlate.
