Some sort of simulacrum. The whole idea of the pyramid was that the width indicates the proportion of your diet. You can also read it as height being the importance to your diet because on a triangle, the width and height correlate. But now it’s only a pyramid shape because they need more space to fit the pictures of food. It’s hard to even read as purely one dimensional because they mix supposed food groups between layers. Therefore it’s only a pyramid because we associate food regulation with the food pyramid. The food pyramid does not exist anymore. Its structure as a way to display information also doesn’t exist.
