Wait until you find out why bread and starch is at the bottom of the food pyramid… which is still, to this day, being taught in schools.

It isn't still being taught, it changed to the MyPlate model because the food pyramid was deemed misleading: https://www.myplate.gov/

Yeah. The "food pyramid with grains on the bottom" version was around for 13 years - shorter than it's now been gone.
