    The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) introduced its version of the food pyramid in 1992. The USDA pyramid emphasized a high intake of carbohydrates, particularly grains, while recommending limited consumption of fats and sugars.

    The USDA props up the ag industry in '92. Now the gummint’s proving up the meat industry.

    A tale as old as time the USA.
