New food Pyramid?

kareokemom5

I found a food pyramid that is different than the one the USDA has out. Tell me what you think. This new pyramid is like this:
vegetables make up 30-60% of calorie intake. Beans and legumes make up 10-40%. Fruits make up 10-40%. Whole grains and potatoes make up 20% or less. Seeds, nuts, and avacodos makes up 10-40%. Eggs, fish, fat-free dairy less than 10%. Last it shows beef, sweets, cheese, and processed foods on top at rarely. This pyramid is supposed to not only allow you to lose weight but also promote your health by giving your body the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals it needs.
here is a link to the pyramid it self. I was not able to figure out how to paste here. http://www.drfuhrman.com/library/foodpyramid.aspx

Being vegetarian, I think that's a much better food pyramid! But vegetarianism aside, it has to be good to eat mostly fresh, unprocessed foods with no chemicals and other garbage injected into it, that just makes sense. Whatever you eat, the less chemicals and processing involved in making it, the better it will be for your body. That said, when buying fruits and vegetables keep this chart in mind:
