why did they change the old food pyramid?

They changed it to incorporate the importance of exercise in healthy dieting too. The pyramid now shows steps along its left side with a man walking up them that are emblematic of this new addition. They also made slight tweaks to some of the added foods in some categories, but the added exercise portion is the most substantial change.

Because the barter system went out of style a long time ago.

Most things get better as you age them: wine, cheese, pheasant - which is better after it has hung for a few weeks and gone all maggoty. Yoda took centuries to properly age. The 70s got better after they aged for awhile - everyone thought they were pretty cheesy right after they happened but look how cool a groovy 70s shirt looks now or a Starsky and Hutch lunch box? Anyway, you could probably eat Halloween candy from an Egyptian tomb and it would be okay, the stuff is everlasting.

There was an original version from the 80's.  It wasn't pulled for any particular reason, but a new version was released a few years ago that updated some of the language and ideas.  I guess the assumption was that by stretching the series over twenty-some years, the original book had become dated.

This goes into an interesting area.  There is a book out there called the Warrior Diet.  It talks of this very style of eating.  It can be healthy but you have to do it right.  This was basically the diet of natives and other hunter/gather societies.  Our bodies are probably more adapt at this diet then the crap we have forced into over the last 70 years.  I would change it up from apples to other nutritious fruits.  Read the Warrior Diet and get a better prospective.

There is NO evidence that this is the case.  The problem is more in the prevalence of calorie-dense food and the lack of appealing "healthier" alternatives.

This is a global world, many products we consume are coming from other places. If we limit our consumption to what produced locally, we go back to the old era. I prefer look forward to the future, not go back to the past.

It changes from year to year.  I haven't seen it yet this year, but they made a big change to it last year.

Religion doesn't want you to know what it was really like back in biblical days. Food always was a problem. Meat was a luxury. After the growing season (there was no refrigeration) if you didn't have enough food to last, or if there was a bad crop or flood or insect damage, the people had to forage for food in order to survive. Which means , pick up anything that was edible, any leaf, plant  or root that could be chewed & swallowed was food. When that was depleated people actually picked up a handful of dirt and swallowed it in order to to take away hunger. If you ate the wrong plant or root you could halucinate. The root of the Payote Cactus, Mugwort,  etc are plants that contain halucinagins. The people didn't know. Eat it and you could see a staff turn into a snake like in the Bible. When Jesus went into the desert for 40 days did he bring a hundred pounds of food? When prophets claim that  they heard God it's never asked. "What did they eat before?" Religion always gives you a cleansed version of what went on in Biblical times (for obvious reasons).  If you would study the History of Civilization on this planet at a university (not from a religion) you will gain a better understanding of what really went on. And you would question a lot of things they tell you to believe. Religion is always much more popular with uneducated people (no offense intended).

Gods not doing it, the birds are because they are hungry. They are hungry because the old man sold the land behind his house to the city folk who tore down the birds homes and the wild berry trees where they used to eat, to build a new strip mall. Thats what I heard anyways :/
