They stopped using the pyramid a longtime ago, but yeah this one isn’t bad:
As a pile of (mostly) healthy food it’s fine. But as an infographic it completely sucks.
EDIT: It’s interesting they would have frozen peas at the top (mostly empty starch) but whole grains at the bottom (assuming the bottom means “sparingly”). Also red meat and butter should not be a large part of anyone’s daily calories.

Yeah it seems to overvalue dairy and red meat for what I believe is a healthy diet, but I’m also an unhealthy layman, not a nutritionist.
Some guidance on portions or quantities seems useful and totally absent here, but “eat more fruits and veggies” seems like good advice.
I’d put eggs and fish above steak and cheese, but, yeah, as another poster replied, I’m not being paid by any cattle lobbyists.
