There's a new food pyramid in town, and it's a plate. The USDA's new food icon is a brightly colored graphic that breaks a healthy diet into four main sections: fruits, vegetables, grains and proteins, with a small side of dairy.

It replaces the old Food Guide Pyramid, first launched in the early 1990s, then revamped in 2005. SEE FULL STORY HERE
