Check it out... interesting that the fats/oils are above the fruit, and cheese is above the veggies and fruit and in with the legumes/nuts/fats. They really do expect people to limit cheese!

It says:

"To lose weight; eat foods from the base of the pyramid –
lean protein, leafy greens, vegetables and healthy oils.

As you get closer to your goal; move up the pyramid –
and up your options – fiber-rich fruits, dairy, nuts,
legumes and whole grains. See any added sugar or
trans fats? Neither do we."
