Also working for the health dept, we also suggest following the food pyramid to promote healthy eating and a balanced diet.

I'm not sure on the whole story, but...
From what I've heard, they're going to split the carbs section into the kind you get from pasta, white bread, etc., and the kind you get from whole wheats and those types of foods.
Also, meat will be split between poultry and fish in one section, and red meat in the other section. It looks like it will advocate a more balanced diet, and not one top heavy on carbs.
There was an article in either Muscle and Fitness or Men's Health about the change...not sure which issue though.
