New Food Pyramid
and Dietary Guidelines
The 2005 Dietary Guidelines were
jointly issued in January 2005 by the Department of Health and Human
Services and the Department of Agriculture. Based on these new
guidelines, the New Food Pyramid was released in April 2005, which makes
it possible for consumers to personalize food advice to their age,
gender and activity level, and to decide whether to maintain their
current weight or reach a healthier one.
