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. 

In this Episode, we Discuss: 

• 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
• How the 2026 Pyramid Affects Everyday Eating Habits
• What a Healthier Food Guide Could Look Like from a Nutritionist
• Should We Trust the 2026 Food Pyramid
