                                The 1992 USDA Food Pyramid was heavily criticized for being based on out-of-date science and influenced by food industry lobbying. This dissatisfaction is what inspired the development of other food pyramids for people who don't follow the Western diet, emphasizing cultural and nutritional diversity across the globe.
