10. Since there are basically equal amounts of all the items, it's just dumb

It's unnecessary to frame it as a pyramid. The previous pyramid signified amounts: more of what was at the bottom and less of what was at the top. Here, there are pretty much equal amounts of everything just shaped as a pyramid. It's essentially just a troll on the old design, which is exactly what I'd expect from these MAGA clowns. There are plenty of good reasons to revise the old food pyramid. There's no reason for a government agency to just be out there trolling it with confusing if not meaningless graphic design.
