Yes, but I have distinct memories of these nutrition facts being taught to us in school for years, and our teachers asking us to report back how well we conformed to this supposed ideal diet as homework prior to any possible expectation that we children could be informed consumers.
Then I would think the meat, dairy, and egg industry didn't get their money's worth. The My Plate guidelines have protein as less than 25% of the plate, and nothing says it has to be animal based.
The Court has actually ruled that the USDA violated federal law by hiding conflicts of interest in the Dietary Guidelines.
It is beyond insane that these are the official guidelines on what Americans should eat. Why would anyone defend them?
What do you find disagreeable about the My Plate that was linked?

Going through that link, it's hard to see where you came to that conclusion? It seems to have pretty reasonable dietary advice.
The food pyramid also seemed like pretty reasonable dietary advice until it wasn't. The skepticism expressed by other posters about where the guidelines originated from is well founded.

> tells people to eat the food of another mammal's baby. This is the opposite of "reasonable" - it is actual government propaganda to support lobbied industry.
Oh, I was wondering where the part of your screed was gonna come out as crazy. Human consumption of dairy is thousands of years old.

The RFK jr version of the food pyramid now moves meat and dairy to the biggest section of the pyramid
