The base of the pyramid, which was the biggest section, was covered with colorful drawings of cereal, bread and a loaded plate of pasta. Yummy! If you think back to the 1990s and early 2000s, ok it wasn’t that long ago people! The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) created the food pyramid in 1992. It placed grains at the base of the pyramid (the largest section), with veggies and fruits on the next largest section. These were the foods that we were supposed to consume most of all. The next section was split in half, with the dairy portion on the left and the proteins on the right. The very tip of the pyramid was reserved for fats and sweets, with a recommendation to eat these sparingly.
