On today’s episode of the podcast, we discuss the NEW food pyramid. The US Department of Food Services and the USDA just released a new food pyramid as a dietary guideline. We give a brief history of the food pyramid as a visual dietary guide, what we appreciate about the updated version, and which recommendations may be unsound, or even potentially harmful, for the general population.

- What Is the 2026 Food Pyramid?
- Why the Food Pyramid Was Updated Again
- Old Food Pyramid vs New One
- Key Changes That Raised Concerns
- Who Benefits Most From the New Pyramid?
- Scientific Evidence: What Supports It—and What Doesn’t
