La más novedosa guía de la pirámide de los grupos básicos de alimentos del Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (U.S. Department of Agriculture), llamada MyPyramid, invita a los consumidores a elegir alimentos más saludables y a practicar ejercicio en forma regular. A diferencia del modelo antiguo, los grupos básicos de alimentos están organizados en bandas verticales, en lugar de las bandas horizontales. El ancho de la banda indica el tamaño de la porción. Cuanto más ancha sea la banda, mayor será la cantidad de alimentos de ese grupo que se deberá consumir.
