NeoGreen -- The Food Tomb
The first link on the right explains some of the political posturing that goes on when government agencies make their educated and impartial recommendations.  These guidelines become sacred and irrefutable doctrine once they are released. 

Let us make this clear:  intentional misinformation, political posturing for the benefit of American corporations, or
sold science ('science' sold to the highest bidder), masquerades as honest, evidence-based, scientific fact.

Fact:  The Food Pyramid is promoted by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture);
the USDA exists to promote U.S. agricultural products and businesses. This is NOT one of the U.S. government agencies responsible for its citizenns' health!

The best sites for a more accurate
health-based Food Pyramid are weight-loss dieting sites.  If you can tolerate the blatant fat phobia and fat-bashing, the information is there.
