Yeah, the Food Pyramid recommending 6-11 servings of "grains" was not especially healthy, especially since it didn't distinguish types of grain or the differences between whole grain, bleached white flour, and froot loops... it even has nuts and meat in the same category of healthiness. The pyramid itself was heavily designed to cater to lobby groups and ignored actual research in favor of propping up whoever paid the most, it even had altered wording to make Fast Food seem more healthy!

Like 80% of overweight people exist due to eating far too many carbs, Its weird that the food pyramid was a thing because the research that discovered that was conducted in like the 60's.
More than a few careers got big boosts by providing agro-biz with mandatory in-school advertisement for their shitty products. After all, why should government functionaries limit themselves to steady pay, great benefits, and rediculous pensions, when they can also get a golden parachute through "consulting", "lobbying", and board memberships.

They'd have to have some sort of non-negotiable moral foundation to resist that sort of temptation.

Because you have uncooked fish and meat touching fruits vegetables you want to eat raw. Prime food no-no there.

If you want to be technical, food pyramid was originally about wartime rationing... and then socialists made it worse:
