In Belgium we also had a similar food pyramid.

But government now decided to update it, and get rid of all the "economic" influence, which was steered towards grain, meat and dairy industry, and only base it on what is healthy.

To make their statement clear, they literally turned the food pyramid upside down.

Butter is in "less" and salt and bacon in "as little as possible". With what we know now it should be the opposite.

Google translate works surprisingly well even on the interactive pyramid translating hover text too.
