LodedDiaper (npub18sa…kmfn) Nova :deer: :confederateflag: :serious: (npub1fev…w3la) ✞:architect:elftummy🍟🏔️ (npub12e2…56j9) The food pyramid is literally a WWII era propaganda campaign designed to make rationing food during wartime sound more appealing, by claiming that the foods they had the most of available are the foundations of a healthy diet that you need to eat the most of, and that the things they were running low on and needed to ration the most were the things you needed to eat the least of. It's almost entirely based around the availability of foods for the general public during the 1940s, not actual nutritional needs or a healthy diet. Unfortunately, the propaganda was so effective that they were unable to abandon it after the war (especially not without ruining their credibility) so we've been stuck with it ever since.
