It may be surprising to hear that the first food pyramid was set up in Sweden in the 1970s. The Swedish government set up a special committee to evaluate how they could create nutritionally balanced meals at a reasonable cost.
The USDA adapted and adopted the Food Pyramid guide in 1992 whereby the pyramid had four levels: the base that recommended 6-11 servings of bread, cereal, rice, and pasta; the second level that recommended 3-5 servings of vegetables and 2-4 servings of fruit; the third level included 2-3 servings each of dairy and protein sources and finally the top level included using fats, oils, and sweets sparingly.
