"The new Healthy Eating Plate was created by Harvard Health Publications and nutrition experts at the Harvard School of Public Health. It offers more specific and more accurate recommendations for following a healthy diet than MyPlate, developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Service. In addition, the Healthy Eating Plate is based on the most up-to-date nutrition research, and it is not influenced by the food industry or agriculture policy."

I think this is a big improvement, but still not perfect. Canola oil is not healthy -- butter (real butter) is better for you, no matter what popular nutrition says. Also, potatoes have quite a bit going for them: http://whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=48
