New Food Guide

On an unrelated note, food guidelines issued by the United States Department of Agriculture are very fluid, ever-changing, constantly being updated as new information presents itself on biomedicine and health.

First off, apparently they had some sort of food wheel back in 1946.

Then we had the four food groups, back in the eighties.  This is the first food guide to which I had been introduced way back in the day.

Then there was the food pyramid with blocks, in 1992.

Then there was the food pyramid with convergent blades.

Then there was the food pyramid with convergent blades with a dude running up the staircase on the side, in 2005.

Now we have harkened upon the next frontier.:
The food yin yang.  This symbolizes the delicate harmony and balance of everything.  A tangible equilibrium.

Look, we already have some demonstrative diagrams.

Note:  This was a parody post.  The USDA has not actually released any "food yin yang" dietary guidelines.  Do not take this as medical or nutritional advice.
