I haven't seen the details yet, but hopefully it's an improvement from the Food Pyramid. The Food Pyramid was based on which lobbyist groups were the most influential, rather than which diet is the healthiest. There is no WAY that people should eat as much meat or dairy products as the Food Pyramid said that they should.
Actually the food pyramid suggested way more "grains" than it should have. All that carbohydrate in the diet is fine if you are an endurance athlete or extremely active person. For the average sedentary American, the carbohydrate suggested levels are far to high, leading to obesity and diabetes.
