    Question



    Which institute introduced The food guide pyramid in 1992?

    National Institute of Nutrition (NIN)

    United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)

    C.

    Agricultural Marketing Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (AMS)

    D.

    Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (ARS)

    Correct option is B


    The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) introduced the Food Guide Pyramid in 1992. It was developed as a visual tool to promote healthy eating by showing the proportions of different food groups that should be consumed daily for a balanced diet. The pyramid emphasized a diet rich in grains, fruits, and vegetables, with fats and sweets limited to the top in smaller amounts.
    Information Booster: The USDA Food Pyramid was widely used as a nutritional guide until it was replaced in 2011 by the MyPlate model, which provides a more modern approach to promoting a balanced diet. The pyramid was designed to help people make healthy choices and understand the importance of various food groups in their daily meals.
    Additional Knowledge:
    · National Institute of Nutrition (NIN): NIN focuses on nutritional research and education in India, but it did not create the Food Guide Pyramid.
    · Agricultural Marketing Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (AMS): AMS deals with marketing agricultural products, not developing food guides.
    · Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (ARS): ARS conducts agricultural research, but it was the USDA that introduced the Food Guide Pyramid.
