alt Hacker NewsGrowing up, I was taught the grains were at the bottom of the food pyramid. I actually agree that the new food pyramid is a right step when it comes to nutrition

But the new pyramid is pretty similar to the old pyramid. From the page:
Grains: Target: 2–4 servings per day.
Vegetables: 3 servings per day.
Fruits: 2 servings per day.
The old pyramid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_pyramid_(nutrition)#/medi...) recommends 3-5 veg (same/more), 2-4 fruit (same/more), more grains, and is still relatively protein heavy (4-6 between meat and dairy).

It's basically a scene from The Office. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC5lsemxaJo

Grains actually should be the bottom of the food pyramid, just not the grains represented in the old pyramid.
Peanuts, lentils, oats, peas, chickpeas, beans, etc. All grains that are both healthy and safe to eat a lot of.
