"The new three-section food pyramid is part of the administration's new nutrition policy announced Wednesday, which encourages Americans to eat whole or minimally processed foods, which it calls "real food," and has been a long time interest of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy. His policy interests also shine through on the initiative's new website, realfood.gov, which features copy that reads like a MAHA manifesto."
"The original pyramid, released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1992, featured six sections. The new version is flipped and has three: protein, dairy, and healthy fats; vegetables and fruits; and whole grains. Sweets have been removed. 'It's upside-down, a lot of people would say,' Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., said at a White House press conference. 'But it was actually upside-down before and we just righted it.'"
The administration introduced an inverted three-section food pyramid replacing the USDA's 1992 six-section model. The pyramid groups are protein, dairy, and healthy fats; vegetables and fruits; and whole grains, with sweets removed. The initiative encourages Americans to eat whole or minimally processed "real food" and reflects Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s long-standing interest. The initiative's website, realfood.gov, uses minimalist design cues from consumer brands with clean sans-serif typefaces and playful illustrations. The new graphic combines and reorders former categories, makes whole grains the smallest portion, and presents colorful painterly images while leaving literal placement and interpretation unclear despite offering numeric guidance.
