If I were to offer a critique, temporarily ignoring how much of an improvement this is, it would be:
1. Farmed salmon is probably one of the most toxic foods in the grocery store. Wild caught is good but still high PUFA which is counter indicated in hot, high sun areas. Potentially beneficial in cold, low sun areas. Wild salmon roe has a much better cost/benefit AFAICT.
2. Chicken, pigs, and other monogastric livestock are extremely inflammatory in their modern forms. O6 dominance through the roof. Nourish Food Club is experimenting with revitalizing these foods to their healthier, ancestral roots, but the project is nascent and nobody else seems to care. Ancestral monogastric "livestock" are leaner, take longer to mature, are naturally low PUFA, and are healthy in moderation.
3. Vegetables have to be consumed intentionally and just spamming them because they are "healthy" will backfire. Carrots: raw. Mushrooms: well cooked. Many things should be soaked. Many things should be fermented. Vegetables are also being sprayed with all sorts of modern chemical preservatives and the organic classification is no longer protecting consumers or offering any real transparency.
4. Tinned food should be shunned for glass jarred food and the entire supply change should adapt to standard jar sizes. The pyramid should never show tins which leach all sorts of plastic and heavy metals into food.
5. Diary should specify only A2 strains, cutting off modern industrial A1, and preferring raw or at least low temp vat pasteurized.
6. There is no mention at all of regenerative products which are not only healthier but ensure they'll be around for future generations.
7. Grains need as much of a revitalization as our chicken and pigs. America had destroyed our wheat products. We need to recover them so that people can enjoy their heritage again. Bread is perfectly healthy.
8. Missed opportunity not to use the white space on the side to illustrate which foods should go in the trash: like processed foods with seed oils, HFCS, etc...
