I don't think the old pyramid was around for decades. According to wikipedia, the "carbs on the bottom" food pyramid was only recommended from 1992 - 2005, or 13 years. Those dates just happen to coincide with the age group of 30-50 year old adults that are over-represented here.

It was replaced with a rainbow-like pyramid in 2005 which completely negated the concept of a pyramid, and then a circle (plate) in 2011.

We need to stop bringing up the food pyramid that everyone already agreed was bad and replaced 20 years ago.
