Food pyramid is a US Dept of Agriculture thing, not from any professional RD

Is the department of agriculture not "the professionals"?

And even if they weren't not a day goes by that government doesn't do things based on research/influence/numbers from academia that was produced with funding from a) the government b) the industry. So it's not like anything other option for deriving a food pyramid is free of questionable influence either.
