The
improved
American
food
guide
pyramid,
informally
known as
the food
pyramid,
was a
nutrition
guide
created
by the
USDA.
Released
in 1992,
the food
pyramid
suggested
how much
of each
food
category
one
should
eat each
day. The
food
guide
pyramid
replaced
the food
groups
classification.
On April
19,
2005,
the USDA
released
the food
guide
pyramid's
successor,
MyPyramid.
The Food
Guide
Pyramid's
original
version
was
invented
and
designed
in
Sweden
by
Ann-Britt
Agnsater
for KF:
Testkitchen
1974.
The food
pyramid
was
based on
the
amount
of basic
food one
needs to
eat
daily in
order to
maintain
their
health.
Later it
was
developed
to a
pyramid.
KFs:
Test
kitchen
(Swedish
Cooperative
movement's
Test
kitchen)
later
introduced
the Food
Pyramid
to other
European
countries,
as well
as
Tanzania
and Sri
Lanka.
In 1992
it
inspired
American
nutritional
experts
to
develop
an
improved
American
food
pyramid.
This
initial
pyramid
became
famous
throughout
the
world,
and
became
an
American
icon.
One
issue
which
this
pyramid
was
believed
to have
was its
rigidness.
The new
pyramid
reflected
the
concept
that a
diet
should
be
structured
according
to an
individual's
needs.
The old
pyramid
allowed
individuals
to
consume
the
foods
within a
certain
range of
servings,
but did
not
state
how to
interpret
that
choice.
In
general
terms,
the food
guide
pyramid
recommends
the
following
intake
of
different
food
groups
each
day,
although
exact
amounts
of
calorie
intake
depends
on sex,
age, and
lifestyle.
